## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long it takes ?  20 hours past since I put the culture in the whole organic milk but  nothing happen--still very liquid ; room temp70F!**
A: Buttermilk takes a warm environment.  Mine to like 48 hours at room temp.  I ended putting it in my yogurt marker and ready in 7 hours

**Q: It is very hot outside right now and I've noticed all of my packages from amazon are hot.  Do they ship this with ice packs ?  is it kept cool ?**
A: No ice pks, but it needs moisture and 85 degrees to activate. I live in Florida and mine was still good although I immediately store it in the freezer.

**Q: How thick is this supposed to be?  Mine's so thick it's almost a custard yogurt, not a drinkable buttermilk, after just 12 hours at 72 in a thermos.**
A: Try stirring it up. Mine is thick just like that, but when I stir or vigorously it blends together and gets thin enough to drink.

**Q: Recipe using instant pot?**
A: I only use whole milk! I just heat the milk to about 90 degrees ( it cools some when you add it to the mason jar that I use), pour it into a mason jar, add the culture, wait 2 minutes and stir. Then I add whole milk powdered milk and mix well. Then I put a paper tower around the top and wrap a double thickness towel around the mason jar with a rubber band to hold it in place and hold in the heat and let it sit for 24 hours. At 24 hours, I open the top and stir it well and let it sit for another 24 hours. My buttermilk is thick and tastes light years better than ANY store bought buttermilk.
