I'm new to making homemade soy milk. I used Bob's Red Mill soybeans and my milk smells & tastes musty. What went wrong? The exp. date is marked 2014.

It's hard to know why without knowing the exact steps you made in making your milk. Did you wash and soak them overnight first? How long did you boil them and how did you grind them? I've never had soybeans taste musty but you never know. You might buy a new batch of soybeans and do it again as an experiment, you'll know if it's the technique or the beans.

No soy. This product sucks if you are using coconut milk, cashew milk, or almond milk. I wasted lots of milk even used a yogurt maker..ended up with seperated watery goo that was no good! ***There is no animal secretions that's just someone that believes everything dumb thing they read.

It is possible you were using processed soymilk. I don't think you can buy the soymilk for this, I think you have to make it from soybeans. I could be wrong. If anyone knows I'd love to know.

For me it's ok when mixed with most other things. I like Chocolate Whey and maybe some skim milk to taste. I've also mixed it with Cytomax. Personal taste, just mix it with something you like and it's fine. I'm on my third large container and don't notice the taste any more. It's a lot better than trying to eat the large amount of veggies you are supposed to eat every day.

I have bought this product before and am ordering again. I have some can's that are 3 years old and they look, smell and taste perfect after 3 years. Mine is for long term storage so I don't open it often but now an then I check them out.. so far so good.. hope this helps someone..

I tried almond milk for my first batch, and it didn't work at all. Maybe operator error, but I thought I followed all instructions. I've also not seen almond milk mentioned in the various makers' list of what milks are workable.Jim Heckman

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.html I found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code. Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.

As long as there is a lipid it should foam. I don't know about soy milk, if the label shows fat content it should foam. If it doesn't work you can add some emulsifier to help it along.

I want to check it but I am keeping forgetting.... If I am not mistake it can be between 9 and 12 minutes. It is done so fast that some days I will do the raw cycle twice, yesterday I did 3 times because I was not making soy milk. They recommend to not use the soya joy more than 3 times in a row. If you forget to soak the almond it is a good way to get the maximum from your almonds. Enjoy !!! :)

Alex, I have tried a few kinds of milk from the grocery stores...Skim, 1% and 2% and they would not set. They came out very soft. Almost like a spread and no flavor. No one cared for it. Whole milk was ok, but the best is raw milk right from the farm. It was " GREAT ". So I'm thinking Almond or Soy milk ( which has no fat contents ) won't work well at all. I hope this answered your question.

When added to cereal with soy milk or added to juice, which is how I use it, the taste is not detected. There's not much of a taste to it.

I have tried making tofu using this machine several times using both store-bought and homemade soy milk. It has not set once! I also am not sure if the instructions are referring to liquid or powdered nigari. The milk takes on a terrible taste when I add 10 ml of nigari powder undiluted.

I don't understand the relationship between the Soya Power machine and a glass jug. Could you explain better, please? I had the machine for 2 years, and I have never had a problem: I make the milk in the machine, then pour it into a different container with lid, and store in the fridge...

if you mix rice with some soybean, red bean or something, it is kind of paste(you can put some sugar to taste). I you just use soybean, you need a filter to make it to "milk"

It is my first soy milk maker, and I love it so far! I bought it about mid-may, and I have used it every 2-3 days since then. It is easy to clean, but easiest if you clean as you go, before the soy milk residue has had a chance to dry (I wrote a review describing how I do it). Also, I highly recommend the Laura soybeans - they are cheapest if you order them direct from the farm, just google "laura soybeans" and it should come up. I paid $40 for 20 pounds, for beans I know were harvested at the end of last year. They make yummy soy milk.

I only make soy yoghurt and it works well but I have friends that use coconut milk. I incubate for at least 12 hours to develop enough tartness. Sometimes I leave it for as much as 24 hours and it's fine. I don't bother to boil the soy milk and I never add sweeteners or thickeners. Full fat soy milk makes the best.
