The milk powder is completely consumed by the bacteria during incubation so there is none of it in the finished product. See some more information about our lactose free and vegan starters.

Usage
The packs are packaged and labeled with the grams they contain and the volume those grams make when used entirely in one go.
The packs are intended for single use, or their contents could be split for multiple use (with the exception of the Sourdough starter which should always be used in one go).
When you split the pack, take out as much as you need to make your yogurt, then reseal and refreeze the remaining starter for later. Make sure you store the sachets in a way that prevents moisture from getting in, i.e. well closed in a Ziploc bag or wrapped around and fastened with a rubber band.
When you split the contents of the pack and use less starter amount to make smaller volumes, keep in mind that you are also reducing the total amount of yogurt that you can make from the pack (read more on that here). Refer to this page to see the gram to Liters (gallons) chart and to find out how much starter to use for different volumes of milk.
Help
Bacillus Bulgaricus starters are easy to use and are strong enough to make sure that the fermentation process completes naturally and smoothly, under the right conditions.

Здравейте Иво,
Всичко е наред.
Все се каня да ви пиша и нещо се случва. После забравям и така бързо времето лети, че докато се обърна седмицата свършила, месеца и вече годината.
Много ви благодаря за закваската, киселото мляко става страхотно с невероятен каймак, тъй като купуваме прясното мляко от една ферма. Директно като издоят кравите ни пълнят млякото в бутилки и е още топло като го слагам да се вари. Пробвахме и домашно сирене и то стана много сполучливо и вкусно. Дори събирахме каймака на киселото мляко и направихме много вкусно масло. / каймакът на киселото мляко е около 1 см. / Пробвах дори кисело мляко на дъното със плодове от компот, също беше много вкусно.
Много сме щастливи, че можем да се храним здравословно с ваша помощ и уча дъщеря ми на българските традиции и обичай. Един ден и тя да прави домашни вкусотии по български.
