I'm new to making homemade soy milk. I used Bob's Red Mill soybeans and my milk smells &amp; tastes musty. What went wrong? The exp. date is marked 2014.

That depends how you've prepared, soy is very delicate, so if you left soybeans for more than 12 hours in water, that may have been the problem, after letting in water, it is necessary soy wash several times until you get out all the foam is water, however, to give you a better answer me that preparation method you have used. For one year I prepare my soy milk with a machine called soy maker. But before the machine used the standard preparation method. In anyway you can use the milk that you have now for make a tofu, or yogurt. When you doing good the milk you can make Vegannesa too. ;) The Bob's Red mill soybeans are organic and delicious. Sorry for my English, I am using a translate application but I want to help

This happened to me. The instructions say it must be "fresh" milk. When I got new milk, it frothed properly. Also make sure your levels are correct and you don't press the button too long.

I tried preheating my soy milk as well. Just get weak bubbles at the top. Seems to only give stiff froth with real milk for me.

Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!

Has anyone tried using soy milk in any of the recipes? Do you think it will turn out runny like the lactose milk? What do you think about using soy creamer?

Alex, I have tried a few kinds of milk from the grocery stores...Skim, 1% and 2% and they would not set. They came out very soft. Almost like a spread and no flavor. No one cared for it. Whole milk was ok, but the best is raw milk right from the farm. It was " GREAT ". So I'm thinking Almond or Soy milk ( which has no fat contents ) won't work well at all. I hope this answered your question.

You may also want to check the recent thread on making yogurt using soymilk. It turns out that lactose is not essential to the process.

Again, depends on how yoou define 'problem.' It's not the hottest you will find but reasonable. You need to clean the inside well then let it air dry or hand dry. Surprisingly, I found that real soy milk froths better than regular milk-almond milk, not so much.

I made some batches of baby food back in May and I'm still using it and it's completely fine. I haven't noticed ANY odors of any kind and the food looks as fresh as when I first made it when it's thawed. I think some of the odors others are referring to may be from the types of food they keep in their freezer, like seafood for example. We aren't big meat/seafood eaters so we don't have smellier foods in our freezer.

The soybean I bought one and half years ago are still good to make soybean milk. As long as you keep them in a container and place in a dry place. I think they will last long.

Mine had March 1, 2015 on it. I don't want to sound cavalier about it, but this is one of those products I don't worry about with regard to expiration, although there's plenty of time left. It's made of roasted grain that has a long shelf life. I suppose it could eventually get rancid, but it may take a long time. By that time it will be gone.

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.htmlI found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code.Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.

Best to check the sell by date or when open to use add liquid and taste and if taste rancid toss it in the bin. If you ate wheatgerm before then you will know the difference whether it is good or bad. Keep in freezer all the time.

I tried making yogurt using soy milk once and it did not "set", it was all liquid. Now I use organic whole milk and I have great results every time!

I am not sure. It could be the processing or where it is grown, if their is a change in the soil nutrients, or even a change in the weather that effects the crop from year to year. I would first smell it? Does it smell ok? If you are concerned contact the company; they would be more equipped to answer you questions or concerns. They may have a contact via their website.
