Thank you for this post! I never knew making your own yogurt was so easy, or even possible. It's a really cool thing to do and I eat a LOT of yogurt.
I just made some yesterday (just had some now - was amazing), I did a bunch of research on it the last few days trying to find different ways of keeping it warm (I don't have an electric blanket). Since it was a trial I only made about a litre, 2 heaping tablespoons of some organic plain yogurt I found at the grocery store and 2 tablespoons of dry milk powder (I like thick yogurt), incubated for 7 hrs. As for keeping it warm, that was the really tricky part. I didn't want to keep my stove or oven on for 8 hrs and yogurt makers are extremely hard to get in Canada, as shipping is more expensive that the actual machine. I ended up wrapping a bit pot of water in blankets and every 1 1/2 to 2hrs changing the water. Wasn't too bad, kept the temp between 100-110 F. Just sucks if you can't leave it alone for longer than 2hrs.
Thanks again! Definitely going to be one of my projects from now on.0 -
awesome! My kids will break my checkbook on yogurt! Next weekend I will try this for sure... now, just got to figure out how to make it strawberry flavored for them! That's the only flavor they will eat! LOL0

Bump! This sounds incredible! I have just recently started eating plain yogurt, doctored up with fresh fruit and stevia. It is so much better than the already-flavored yogurts. I am going to give this a try. I am paying more than $5 for a small container of plain greek yogurt. This will save me a ton of money! Thank you, thank you!0

How do you calculate the nutritional value? Would it be the same as whatever type of milk you are using?0

OHHH good question!!!0 -

I don't stress about getting it perfect, I just use the caloric value of a quality commercial yogurt with the same fat level as the milk I used.0 -
How do you flavor it? The kids like strawberry but not the chunks...0

ETA: Oh, you can also just add some jam at serving for the kids...0 -

I used to just heat my oven a little bit then turn it off and leave the pilot light on overnight. But now I use my slow cooker and just wrap it in a towel (leave it off) and let that sit for 6-8 hours and that turns out great. I get super super thick yogurt and don't have to touch it at all until it's done.0 -
How long do you heat your slowcooker for? Then, do you turn it off and wrap the slowcooker up in a towel, or your container(s) of yogurt? :-)0
