@unusnemo I bought a ready made "Psychbiotics" mix in capsules (see the list below) and used their content (one per jar) as a starter. Then I put part of second batch in the icecube mould and keep it frozen for future starters.
Now for consecutive batches I use unwashed jars plus one jar content split equally among the rest and topped up with milk. 36 hours @ 42⁰C and then few hours in the fridge.
The milk is a cow one (plant base to be tested soon), organic, pasteurised (no UHT) and microfiltered.
We drink it as a supplement daily, straight ftom the fridge. Good stuff.
As soon as I scrap few dollars more I am going to assemble a bigger water bath machine, so I can make batches of some 8 jars 1 liter each, lat alone pasteurisation and sous vide.
The list of strains I use:
- Bifidobacterium infantis BI02
- Bifidobacterium longum BL-G301
- Lactobacillus acidophilus LA02
- Lactobacillus helveticus LH060
- Lactobacillus reuteri LRE02
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
