Operating Instructions: Making Yogurt

Follow these steps to prepare homemade yogurt:

Preparar els ingredients: You will need milk (whole, semi-skimmed, or skimmed) and a starter culture (either a small amount of plain, live yogurt from a previous batch or a commercial yogurt starter culture). For best results, use fresh, high-quality milk.
Heat Milk (Optional, but Recommended): For thicker yogurt, gently heat the milk to about 85°C (185°F) to denature the proteins. Hold at this temperature for a few minutes, then let it cool down to 40-45°C (104-113°F). If using UHT milk, heating is not strictly necessary, but cooling to the correct temperature is crucial.
Add Starter Culture: Once the milk has cooled to the correct temperature (40-45°C), add the starter culture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the culture is evenly distributed. The ratio typically is 1-2 tablespoons of live yogurt per liter of milk, or follow the instructions on your commercial starter.
Omplir els pots: Pour the milk and starter mixture into the clean glass jars. Do not fill them completely to the brim; leave a small space at the top. Do not put the individual jar lids on at this stage.
Place Jars in Maker: Place the open jars into the yogurt maker base.
Cover and Ferment: Place the transparent lid over the yogurt maker. Plug the appliance into the electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the heating process has begun. The appliance maintains a constant temperature of approximately 40°C (104°F).
Set Fermentation Time: The fermentation time typically ranges from 6 to 12 hours, depending on the desired thickness and tartness of the yogurt, and the type of starter culture used. For a milder, thinner yogurt, ferment for a shorter period (6-8 hours). For a thicker, tangier yogurt, ferment for a longer period (10-12 hours). You can use the manual dial on the lid to mark the start time as a reminder.
Apagat automàtic: The Girmi JC71 features an automatic shut-off after 12 hours. If you wish to stop the fermentation earlier, simply unplug the appliance.
Refredar i emmagatzemar: Once fermentation is complete, unplug the yogurt maker. Remove the glass jars, place their individual lids on, and allow them to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before consuming. This stops the fermentation process and helps the yogurt thicken further.

Consell: Save a small amount of your freshly made yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch. This can be done for several cycles before needing a fresh commercial starter.

Manteniment i Neteja

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your yogurt maker.

Desconnectar: Desendolleu sempre l'aparell de la presa de corrent i deixeu-lo refredar completament abans de netejar-lo.

Tapa transparent: Wash the transparent lid by hand in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not place it in a dishwasher as high temperatures may deform it.
Unitat principal: Netegeu l'exterior de la unitat principal amb un drap suau i sec.amp drap. Per a taques difícils, feu servir un detergent suau. No feu servir netejadors abrasius ni fregalls. No submergiu mai la unitat principal, el cable d'alimentació o l'endoll en aigua ni en cap altre líquid.
