Can you tell me if your starter has any other culture besides the bulgaricus strain? I'm trying to avoid the acidophilus strain.

I am fairly certain that it contains only the bulgaricus and thermophiles strains and not acidophilus. This is what makes the Bulgarian starter unique. It works very well by the way.

The manufacturer does not state on the package or on its website what cultures it includes. But I think L. acidophilus is part of the definition of a yogurt culture and for those several I have seen that do declare the cultures, I have not seen a single one that did not include it. However, I recently made a batch of "Bulgarian" buttermilk with the 901 buttermilk starter from GetCulture (which does not contain acidophilus) plus a little Bulgarian buttermilk from the supermarket because 901 does not include L. bulgaricus. I aimed at a thick result (see procedure on the GetCulture website) and it came out about as thick as yogurt and I might possible have gotten it thicker had I added non-fat dry milk (which I do to my yogurts).

My envelopes, which looks like the one on the image, does not state that it contains only L. bulgaricus. Somewhat to the contrary it simply says "Lactic cultures".

I'm just a purchaser so have no idea what the producer put into the starter.

I do not know, tried to research on google but no answer there. May want to write to the Homestead Supply who sells it. I know that Natrin, another bulgarian yogurt starter has the acidophilus bacteria.

The envelope says it has only bulgaricus. Since I'm not allergic to acidophilus, I wouldn't know if it were contaminated or not.

The bottle just says "pure probiotics". It doesn't identify any strains or any other information. I doubt there's anything more than water and flavoring in here. I have found a different brand (not a mouthwash) for oral care that actually lists the probiotic strains and the quantity in the product.

The box says Bifidobacterium bifidum, enterococcus faecium, enterococcus thermophilus, lactobacillus acidocillus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, lactobacillus casei, lactobacillus plantarum. I hope this is what you are looking for as far as Strains. It works great for our cat and was prescribed by our vet

I had no idea this was an issue with some brand of dried mushrooms. I would not know how you could find out specifically about this brand. The label and insructions on the package were all in Chinese, if memory serves, so that would not be of help unless you are fluent in Chinese. With foodstuffs coming from countries other than the United States, my attitude is one of Caveat emptor --buyer beware. And if I choose to consume them, I do so knowing there is a risk.

It depends on the yogurt starter. It turns out that they are now producing single-use yogurt starters that do not make a second batch well at all. At Cultures for Health, they call the single-use cultures "direct-set" cultures. They also make a distinction if a culture is "reusable" or not. I used to use store-bought yogurt to start if I needed a fresh start, but my favorite yogurts now don't work for making your own yogurt at home. They won't set up.

It is all in your culture starter. Not all are the same. Look for a "mild" starter. [Side note: I am lactose intolerant, but still eat yogurt. I find the tart the yogurt, the better on the tummy -- for some reason. But I prefer mild.]

The origin is from South Korea. Its grown in indoor tanks. I got the info straight from the health force website.

I plan to try it and I'll be happy if it's a different strain than S.F. starter yeast. I've used S.F. starters twice now and I didn't care for the taste of them that much (though I normally love all sourdough bread).

I emailed the company the same question- because I'm allergic to fermented things, as well as items produced in a fermentation process. The company emailed back the folllowing: "Not fermented and none of the constituents would expected to be so." I've begun taking the product and I'm not having hives or an asthma attack, so I'd say they are correct. :)

All the strains are probiotic.It is designed so it does not have to be refrigerated. But it is best to be refrigerated.

the box says 900 million cfu 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria fermented and processed for three years. and they say it is one of the only ones that has live bacteria that can live through the stomach and live. i know it works for me

As I recall they are from Turkey and Spain mostly. I don't eat them from Russia/CHina/Korea etc - those tend to cause "pine mouth". Meidterranean are oval-ish, the others are tear drop - avoid them.

I just use regular plain 0% fat greek yogurt (Fage brand). Works fine. I have also used some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for the next batch - that worked fine too.

Warning: if you are following the SCD, Paleo, or other specialized diet, don't use yogurt from previous batches to start your next batch. You should ALWAYS start fresh to ensure a pure culture each time.

I was making yogurt myself until I found a Bulgarian yogurt that is incubated for 24 hours. They have a fat free version and I've switched to it . They are a company in Austin, Texas, that makes yogurt SCD way. It's worth buying for me and not jacking with the hassle of the yogurt maker anymore.

My late grandfather was born in Norway. He showed me how to make Glugg. Port wine is the best IMHO.
