In an Artisan Cheese-making class, I learned that the Artisan cheese maker uses powdered goat milk to make goat cheese. Just make sure it is only pasteurized, NOT Ultra-pasterurized or homogenized. Ultra-pasteurized milk of any kind cannot be used successfully in cheese making, because that level of heat affects calcium distribution in the milk.

I haven't, but I notice there's a recipe on the Meyenberg site using this: http://meyenberg.com/index.php?page=chevre

I don't know, but if you find out, please post it. I know that "whey", the watery by-product from making goat cheese can be used to make "Sauerkraut" out of cabbage, broccoli, and other vegetables! I don't have a local producer of whey, so finding out the answer to this question would be very interesting!!

Do you still add powdered milk to thicken it up? Thanks for your reply. I love mine. I use homemade vanilla and read about a tiny dash of salt (can't recall the purpose ) and about a cup of the bulk Splenda (not the little envelopes) done in 6 hours.

My daughter has been using this milk for our grandson which has allergies to formula and regular milk. He's had no problems and has done great with the powdered goats milk. Hope this helps.

I am a novice at it so I bought the Dash Yogurt maker & I have to say I LOVE IT!!! (about $35 on sale @ Kohl's, they sell it here as well) I know you can do it on your own, but I feel secure knowing it knows exactly the right temperature & time to get the perfect results for me. The first time out I made a wonderful mistake by staining it (comes with it's own strainer) for way too long, about 12 hours I think & it turned into the most delicious cream cheese. I now am looking for a strainer only so I can have my Greek Yogurt & a cream cheese version on hand at all times. Now to find out more recipes!

We generally follow the direction, but by adding a little more powder, it seems to make a richer taste. I really think you should start with the directions and vary it based on your own taste and how you plan to use the mixture. I will say, it makes an excellent cream gravy. We are about a year away from full time cruising on our sailboat and plan to use it for our milk. It is a very good product. Claudia also uses it as a coffee creamer, although it is expensive to do so.

Sure Patricia. I haven't actually made almond milk with it yet, but I put whole almonds in my green drinks and I get a smoothe finish every time. So have fun making your milk my dear. Carol.

Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!

How does goat cheese compare to the consistency of butter or soft cream cheese? I have used it on soft cream cheese, NOT THE WHIPPED variety, the kind in a brick. It does work spreading out a layer of cream cheese... it has some limited success on spreading creamy peanut butter.. but it works for that too. I've had this or different versions of this product for years and I swear by it.

YES! I haven't tried it yet but I really want to! I found a non-dairy yogurt starter and Instant Pot has a users group on Facebook that has lots of helpful information.

I haven't used it for cream cheese. Why don't you test a small batch. Whip it up plain. If it doesn't work well you can still spread the cream cheese on bagels.

Yes. It is so easy you wont believe!! I used this exact kit, and my results were delicious. I personally used whole organic milk. I made 7 quarts out of one packet. There are 6 packets. Have fun!!

Hi Andrea, Your question caught my eye because I'm trying to learn to follow the GAPS diet. Do you have any recommendations on making yogurt? I'm trying to decide on the most effective method to make yogurt on a regular basis. Any tips would be most appreciated.

I purchased this item to finish off my maple syrup. I didn't have any problem with that, but I'm not sure how it would work for cheese. The finished maple syrup is thick, but not as thick as the cheese curd would be.

I also spoke with a Good Seasons customer rep who confirmed Cheese Garlic is discontinued. Since it is discontinued, I asked if the company would consider supplying customers with a comparable recipe for it. The rep thought this was a good idea that he would pass on to the company. Have been using it for decades.

I have tried it with coconut and soy milk and it curdled both times. I always had success with soy milk and Euro Cuisine starter, so I am not sure how they might be different. I used pectin as a thickener these two times, so I'm not sure if that caused a problem.
