This is my first time making yogurt and I found your video the most helpful. :)

I have just one question.. how much milk do you start w/ in the pot?

@1Messiah1way

I believe I started with one gallon? I can't really remember for sure, it was a long time ago. I often make the yogurt in the same way without measuring at all. I use it to use up the last of my dairy milk before it turns bad and I can't use it any more! :)

Since you loose some proteins with boiling the milk, can you skip the boiling process and still culture it?

[bekajoi]

@blebby You don't actually want to boil it at all. You just bring it up to a warm temperature so it will allow the culture to multiply. If you put the yogurt in cold milk, it would take ages to culture. It would work, eventually, but it would not be very effective.

You don't want to boil, though! Just bring up to 105*F. You can do this with raw milk (not hymogenized or processed) and it would turn out fine. :)

will adding more kultur ( plain yogurt ) too much change the taste of the yogurt? i i think i add too much, and it came out very sour, is it still eatable ?

@MrHerryprasetya

Oh and yes, the sour stuff is OK to eat as long as it smells like yogurt. You'll just want to dress it up with sweetener and toss it in a smoothie or something like that.

If it smells like bad milk, then don't consume, toss.

If we don't have the yoqurt blend,what can we use besides that because I don't have it ?

[Sushi4Majdi]

Thank you! This is very helpful indeed! Even though my family is fairly small, we consume yogurt like there's no tomorrow and it can be very expensive.

I've found that 1 can of sweetened condensed milk per quart of milk works best to sweeten the yogurt and the yogurt turns out nice and thick...I add fruit as well.
