patrick hi,
I would like plain milk, but since 2% milk is supposed to be low fat i have been advised to have it. I long for plain milk and white bread. As in the previous thread, please suggest non UHT milk so i can make custard and curds.
Is Sealtest and Beatrice milk UHT. I normally buy milk wholesale at costco.

Look at the label (back cover of 4 L milk bag) or expiry date. UHT milk has shelf life of around 4-6 months or more. Do you buy the milk sold in cartons(tetrapack)?

There is fat in milk for a reason - take it away and you get a denatured product.
Quote:It is possible to make yogurt with raw milk, but since it is so difficult to obtain (not to mention illegal), your best bet is regular pasteurized milk.

The carton should say pasteurized and not ultra pasteurzied or UHT pasteurized.
It will be even better if you can use unhomogenized milk, but it comes with a high price tag !
And the shelf life is unhomogenized milk is very short, usually less than a week.
With milk (as with other food products) - the shorter the shelf life, the better.
Quote:I am not sure about those brands.

But more and more producers are pushing for UHT to be made the standard.
In fact, a lot of producers want full sterilization, using irradiation if necessary.
Don't be surprised if our next generation gets to drink irradiated milk.
Now, I get off my soapbox and let you get on with your yogurt making
