Directions
Heat 1-4 quarts of milk to 185ºF, then cool to 112ºF. Pour milk into a yogurt maker or large container. Add yogurt culture and mix well. Let the milk incubate for 5-12 hours or until the yogurt has thickened to desired consistency.
For a thicker yogurt, before heating add 3 tablespoons milk powder for each quart of milk.
Note: If you don't have a yogurt maker, simply wrap your covered container in a blanket or towel to keep the milk warm while incubating.
Re-culturing: Instead of adding yogurt culture, add approximately 1 tablespoon of prepared yogurt, per quart of milk.
Re-culture every 7-10 days to keep the yogurt bacteria healthy and active.
After multiple rounds of re-culturing, your yogurt may not fully set the milk. At this point, start the process over with a fresh yogurt culture.

Yogurt starter-worked really well!
I finally had a chance to try out my yogurt starter and it was great! Usually I just use a few tablespoons of plain yogurt for the starter. I mixed the little packet with a few tablespoons of milk and added when the Ninja told me to. I thought the yield was very high and no lumps. I don’t know why it is called “sweet” but the yogurt was very good. I received this starter free when I ordered so rennet and will try that out this weekend.
United States United StatesWonderful culture
I make and sell yogurt using this culture. The final product is never too sour even if I get lazy and leave it culturing too long. The sweet ess makes the final product taste like custard. I love this mix.
United StatesGreat taste
Great product, the yogurt comes out perfectly with amazing taste.
United StatesSweet Yogurt Culture
Makes fast and really nice sweet yogurt. It makes from dried milk too. I prefer using dried goat milk usually, but it makes great with whole cow's milk too. I'm a convert to this starter culture!!
