I have been making yogurt from cows milk for 27 years. The past 3 years I have been had access to fresh goat milk. We are so happy to have found these wonderful people who supply us with the goat milk. But even they can't help me with this because they use gelatin in their yogurt. When I make my yogurt every once in a while it comes out glue like. I make a gallon a week. So it happens more than I can stand. So what do is I put the yogurt in a muslin bag and drain some of the whey out of it. Then it isn't so glue like.
My question is, WHY IS IT HAPPENING? Is there a scientific reason? It driving me crazy!!!!
Thank you for your help!

Hi Faith,
Not sure what's happening with your goat's milk yogurt, but I always add 1/4 cup of powdered milk to my litre of milk when I'm going to start a batch of yogurt. I've done this with both cow's and goat's milk, as I find my yogurt is a little runny if I don't add the powdered milk. Also, I use Yogurmet freeze-dried yogurt starter.

Hi Lori!
Thank you so much for answering! Do you add the powdered milk to the milk before heating or after it is heated?
This gluey texture doesn't happen all the time. It is making me crazy. I have never had this happen to the cows milk yogurt. hmmm
I will try adding the powdered milk then.
Thank you again! Faith

I add the powdered milk before heating, heat it up to 180 degrees F, remove from heat, then let it cool down to 110-115 before adding the culture.
