Recommended Equipment Watch the Kitchen Equipment video where I will teach you how to use the tools in your current kitchen plus highlight these supplies below:

Milk Grain Kefir Mesophilic Yogurt Thermophilic Yogurt (countertop)*** (heated)***

Thermophillic Cheese Culture Rennett (50 grams is enough)+++

***These are both not absolutely necessary. Most people only keep one yogurt culture going at any given time. So, if you want to choose one select whichever you prefer. Or, get both and you can decide which one you want to keep going!

+++This is not absolutely necessary. This culture does make excellent and predictable cheese, but you can get very similar results by using kefir as the starter culture if you prefer

www.eatlikeahuman.com 9 Back-to-Basics Virtual Fermented Dairy Class | March 2021 Ingredients & Supplies continued . . . .

You will need to have these ingredients on hand to use:

Please make sure all dairy is as fresh as possible for the best results (no more than three days old if at all possible).

The cream will only be used for the butter so you will only need it for the second class. A quart or so is a good amount.

Milk will be used throughout the course - you will need a gallon or two for the second class to get kefir started and maintained and to make yogurt. You will need two gallons for the third week.

Here is some guidance on purchasing milk: Fresh Heavy Cream (Raw is preferred, pasteurized is fine, ultra- pasteurized will not work) Fresh Milk (Raw is preferred, pasteurized is fine, ultra-pasteurized will not work) Apple Cider Vinegar - you may want to have a little of this on hand for the third class just in case we judge the pH incorrectly for the ricotta.

Other Supplies: Other Supplies:

Riccotta Basket Molds 3.5" Plastic Strainer Butter Muslin Cheesecloth

Things you probably already have in your kitchen:
