Akeille you’ll need to find some way of keeping the yogurt warm. Try wrapping in a blanket and putting in an insulated cooler box.

Hi, I’m so interested to try to make my own homemade yogurt. But my question is what if the place where I will keep the yogurt is not warm anymore for a long hours? waiting for your respond. Thank you.

Hi Destiny,

I am no expert but it sounds like the starter may have been dead, or the mix didn’t get to the right temperature.

Mine came out really runny too. I used a starter that is a runnier yogurt (Organic Bulgarian Yogurt by White Mountain), a little on the unfresh side. I followed all the directions, and it came out the same consistency of the milk. Not one bit creamier =(
Any ideas?

Thanks, I thought the only way to get yogurt was to buy. I’m trying this today.

Hi Julie, mine seems creamier if the homemade yogurt is a little less fresh than I would like to eat!

mmm… homemade yogurt… mine comes out fine if I use a bought yogurt as a starter but runny if I use a homemade yogurt. I’ll persevere and see if a runny starter can make a creamier yogurt. (?)
I love the small glass pots as well so I’ve simply bought replacement jars! No machine, just lovely jars with plastic lids. perfect!

Peninah – I don’t bother adding sugar to my homemade yogurt, but if you wanted to sweeten it I guess the best time would be when it is set and you are putting it into the fridge to store – or just before serving.

thanks for the recipe, but at what point do you add sugar to the youghurt?
