Naaa i didnt make the yogurt, was a funky name. No additives, just plain.

Yogurt will start to ferment at 40*, unlike Bactoferm where you need higher temps.

Rick, How much yogurt did you put in?  In the picture, it looks (to my uncalibrated eyeballs) to be about 1/4 of a cup?

Got the pepperoni stuffed in a few rings and a small straight. I can smell the fermentation, thats a good thing so it looks like the yogurt may work good.

I figured store bought yogurt was pasteurized and didn't have any live bacteria.

Plain yogurt has live active bacteria.

Has the pepperoni tang and a tad of heat. Brown bag/fridge and it will be better in a couple days.

How would yogurt (plain) affect a recipe for bologna?
