homemade yogurt

Post by nanana » Sat, 24 May 2014 11:08 pm

Anyone make your own yogurt here? May I have the recipe?

i'm not sure if it is my technique or the live culture that I used. I tried to make my own yogurt using those yogurt bought from supermarket, but it just won't set.

Most commercial yoghurt cultures have been 'killed' to prevent others using them. (I think they use heat or irradiate the yoghurt - even the pot set ones), possibly there's some health dept rules in that as well.

You need to find someone else with live cultures or get some from a shop that sells these things (on an overseas trip).

My mother in PNG kept a yoghurt culture going for almost 10 years. (i.e you take a little bit from the set yoghurt to make the next one).

Oh dear! Thanks for the info! Kinda heartache now to think of the amount of fresh milk wasted for the last couple of weeks! No wonder my yogurt won't set at all.

I used to have the Easiyo yogurt maker. But I don't think the product is very good quality as sometimes my yogurt won't set too.

If anyone is making own yogurt, mind if I have some of your live cultures?
