Milk Alternative Yogurts/Kefirs/Fresh Probiotics (copy from website)br>br>If you're trying to grow probiotics, keep these three rules in mind: Natural Sugars (br>br>Natural Sugars (br>Natural Sugars (br>Natural Sugars (br> There must be some natural sugars available for the probiotics to consume in order to obtain the energy they require to grow. To see if there are any natural sugars present, look at the label for carbohydrates and sugars. Preservatives should be avoided at all costs.br> Probiotic growth can be inhibited by harsh preservatives, so stay away from them. Some natural preservatives can even slow down the growth of bacteria. As a result, you should avoid Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid, and Vitamin E. Some of the alternatives worked with preservatives "to protect freshness" or "to preserve flavor," but we had to go much longer than usual because the probiotic growth was slowed significantly. Even after nearly 24 hours of culturing (normally, no more than 12 hours), some milk alternatives containing Vitamin C or more Ascorbic Acid failed to grow probiotics. br>Protein Type: br>Protein Type: br>Protein It's important to remember that if you want the probiotics to thicken the proteins, you'll need enough protein (e.g. 8 g per cup, similar to regular milk) The protein "flakes" had congealed/thickened in some cases with very little protein, but there was insufficient protein to thicken the entire liquid. br>Brands that Workedbr>Here are the brands that worked in our tests (videos below) as well as a few customer tests (remember to culture for a little longer to see if it turns tart). To get definitive results, we ran the test batches for much longer than usual (e.g. Approximately 24 hours, though you may only want to culture it until it turns tart (normally less than 12 hours). You only need to culture it until it becomes tart (or thickens, in the case of protein-rich versions). br>br>Please send us an email with any other brands you've tried and whether they worked or not, and we'll send you a couple of starter packets to try. br>br>Brands that were successful: br>br>Silk® 10g Almond Cashew (Merrick's favorite alternative; thickens due to high pea protein content)br>Ripple® Original (Customer recommendation; we did not test)br>Blue Diamond® Almond Breeze Original (only turned tart due to lack of protein to thicken)br>Simple TruthTM Vanilla Almond (only turned tart due to lack of protein to thicken)br>Simple TruthTM Free Fat- (Thickened) Milk is provided free of charge.

Yes, this model runs on 120 volts. There is also a 230 Volt international version available. br>The maker automatically cycles on and off to maintain the ideal temperature for growing all types of probiotics. br>Because there is no timer, the maker will continue to work until you are ready to pull the batch (some people prefer culturing longer for a tarter, thicker product when there are a lot of proteins).
