Where would one buy yogurt strains that allow for a long ferment?
I live in Montreal, Canada
I'm relatively new to fermentation, but I have done a bit of yoghurt, hot sauce, garlic honey, kombucha, sauerkraut, sourdough etc
I'm looking to get back into making yogurt, I've got an instant pot and I am just using a plain unsweetened probiotic organic yogurt that I got from the store that I am using as a starter + whole milk
The last time I made it, I think I did a 24 hour batch, but I was curious to do a longer ferment for maximum probiotics + lower carb, not to mention I enjoy sour yoghurt
Apparently you can get yogurt strains that are intended for long ferments? Does anyone have any recommendations on where to look, or what to ask/search for?
This is where I feel a bit clueless, I haven't experimented with different strains of things, I have no idea where to even start.
Has anyone else done long ferments with similar setups?
Is there any benefit to having multiple strains on hand, or keep getting different starters to add to each new batch to create some Frankenstrain?
Thank you for your advice!
