Why Your L. Reuteri Yogurt Failed — The One Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
If your homemade probiotic yogurt has a layer of whey, a cottage cheese-like texture, or looks completely different from the photos online, it may not mean your batch failed.
Fermentation time could be one reason you are seeing excessive whey and separation. Some probiotic capsules today contain substantially more live cultures than products used in earlier recipes, which means a shorter fermentation may work better depending on the probiotic you use.
