I think you are meant to scald the milk first if you are using actual milk. I looked it up on wikipedia and it said 'Scalded milk is used in yogurt to make the proteins unfold. The acid produced during the yogurt development causes less whey separation and a firmer yogurt.'

Milk powder works better for some reason. I just put in the milk powder, water and a couple of tbsp's of good quality plain yoghurt. The first batch seems to work well, but then if I use that yogurt as a base for my next batch it goes a bit grainy. Don't know why. After playing around with it, i found it much easier to just use the sachets!]]> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:54:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257422&title=homemade-yogurt#1257422 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257419&title=homemade-yogurt#1257419 Author: Hopes

I'm sure I remember doing it with standard cold milk. Although perhaps they suggest that for food safety reasons?]]> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:48:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257419&title=homemade-yogurt#1257419 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257400&title=homemade-yogurt#1257400 Author: sem

Hmm, I'll try that. All the recipes google found used milk powder which I haven't got. They also say to boil the milk first and then let it cool down.
Wonder if it would work just with cold milk?]]> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:26:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257400&title=homemade-yogurt#1257400 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257387&title=homemade-yogurt#1257387 Author: Anonymous55

Oh, I've never done this but you can get freeze dried yoghurt culture, meaning you just add that into the milk rather than commercial yoghurt.]]> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:14:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257387&title=homemade-yogurt#1257387 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257386&title=homemade-yogurt#1257386 Author: Anonymous55

I'm pretty sure you can just use milk and stir in some commercial, plain yoghurt (1/2 cup should do).]]> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:13:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257386&title=homemade-yogurt#1257386 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257382&title=homemade-yogurt#1257382 Author: sem

I remember there used to be a thread on Easyjo Yogurt makers but for some reason the search function doesn't work and I can't find it anymore.

How do you make yogurt with the thermo thing but without the sachets?]]> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:04:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37829&PID=1257382&title=homemade-yogurt#1257382
