'Next day: that doesn't work. I tried beginning viili culture in hot tap water bath, and 'dissolving' gelled viili culture in hot tap water bath.' And still got rope. But....! A day later.... above quotes from the v-k thread.... we see: Success.
Exciting result! For me, definitely exciting, and I must emphasize, the short form viili is a more calm and tasty version of the flavor you like about Long form viili because it lacks the cremoris 'distraction' - I woke up today and tried the viilis I had submitted to the above treatment from the point of smearing the sides of the jar with long form viili. The cremoris is gone. It did not survive and what Is eft is back to what I enjoyed before the cremoris became activated over the course of time. I get too wordy and hope I am clear. You can try short form viili if you do something similar with a test jar of your own long form. Yay.
It may revert back.... the original grains were long form and contained cremoris. They didn't come from yemoos. I must remind everyone I have yemoos long form viili in the freezer pending carrying later by plane. But if the viili gets ropey I now know what to do. I truly do not like the rope - maybe if I were a child I would be intrigued and charmed by it though which is not to say that all who consume the LF are children. But they have assumed there is no alternative I think as that's what I did.Statistics: Posted by Nancy — Sun Jan 05, 2020 12:29 pm
