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 5-7 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.

Who knew it was so easy to make such delicious yogurt? This starter and whole milk from my local dairy makes a rich and wonderfully tart yogurt which is better than any I’ve had from the grocery.

Delicious yogurt. I have made several batches with our Jersey milk and everyone is impressed with how sweet and creamy the resulting yogurt is.

I always get an awesome product out of this culture.

I love this yogurt culture! It makes delicious yogurt after only a few hours. No complaints!

I have been making this yogurt for about 9 months. It’s nice and thick with a great flavor. I wrap a heating pad around it to keep it warm until it’s ready to be refrigerated.
