Fun with Fermentation

in science •  7 years ago 

I make a coconut yogurt that needs to ferment for 2 days to reach the right consistency. The only problem is that sometimes it ferments correctly and sometimes it doesn't! I can not for the life of me figure out why and it's frustrating! I live in Florida so sometimes I think it has to do with the weather but it's worked perfectly fine on cold AND hot days so I'm confused lol. Any tips?

Check if there's possible contamination. One wrong strain of bacteria can pretty much ruin any fermentation. I'd say look at your yogurt under a microscope but I doubt you have one, so just make sure everything is clean and nothing that isn't supposed to be in there falls into your yogurt.

Thank you so much! I didn't think about that... I will definitely be more cautious to possible contamination next time!
