Hi
I would like to buy a yoghurt maker but I can't decide on the jars or the one 2L jar.
Which one is more popular and why?
How long does the yoghurt last for in the fridge.
Does the yoghurt hold its properties in regards to the scd diet if frozen?

Thanks for your message,
This question comes up from time to time, however the answer is more about what is suitable to your lifestyle.
Families for example will purchase the Pure PLUS as it comes with 1 big 2L glass container which they can reload the appliance with a subsequent batch and spare jar immediately after making their first batch.
For those who consume less the 4 ceramic jars are a great option. However both models are identical in regards to result outputs. They have the same power and features. Other than that it can also come down to aesthetics :)

Hi there, thanks for your question. When using store bought yogurt as a starter, the amount you use is flexible. 2 table spoons should do the job for 2L of milk. Cheers.

Hi,



Can you explain why there are different temperatures in which you can set the yoghurt maker?

Hi Nic, Luvele I feel developed this maker to cater for as many users as possible. Whilst they recommend making the yoghurt that is fermented for 24 hours to get a gut-friendly and very yummy end product. The 3 temperature options give the owner the chance to ferment more quickly at a higher temperature, but apparently, 38c is the sweet spot. My nature is to try and speed up the process but have not tried shorter or a higher temp as I am sure the end result will not be as good. I have used Organic whole milk and added some double cream, which for me works well.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your question,



For the most part a longer ferment means more probiotic rich yogurt, higher the temp can result in a more tart tasting yopgurt (Also depends on what starter you use)

We released an article here:
https://www.luvele.com.au/blogs/recipe-blog/yogurt-fermentation-time-temperature

There are many different varieties of starters, and strains of bacteria. We encourage everyone to experiment a little. However first best to start with the basic recipe provided in the Instruction manual. Once you have mastered the basic functions then you stretch your wings a little and try different things.

Hope that helps

I have a 2 litre yoghurt maker with two glass jars. Can I buy replacement plastic jars? (I hate scraping out under the lip of the jar.)

Hi Thanks for your message, we currently only have the glass or ceramic options for this machine. However I'm not sure I fully understand your question, can I ask what the difference would be if it where plastic, it would still have a lid right? Let me know so I can be of more help.
Cheers Tim

The lid if the container is no problem, it is the bit below the lid which I need to get to and clean before I put it in the dishwasher. Lazy eh?
