I used nonfat dry milk and whole milk and 1/2 and 1/2 and heated the mixture to 185 and it came out grainy. Anyone know why? Still it is delicious!

Could be grainy if you did not use a double boiler to heat mixture before putting into yogurt maker

Most of the time I can get a pretty stiff froth--almost microbubbles. A few times it's failed and I end up with a small amount of large bubbles. Can't say why the difference. Definitely works better with warm milk rather than cold, at least for me. (I should say that I am limited to using a mixture of part half-and-half and part water; don't have skim milk, which would undoubtedly work better.)

I did make almond milk with it. It came out a little thick. It doesn't have a setting to make an unheated milk like you usually would for almond milk. Unless the juice button is it. There are no instructions for it. I just used the soymilk button. I returned mine and got one that is a lot less work and has a mill button for making raw nut milks. The milk turns out way smoother too. I have the soyabella now.

Well I used 1 US gallon. I wish it were expressed in litres though! Thought he Metric Conversion Act of 1975 was the law of the land, but I suppose it could be suspended in time of national crisis! One US Gallon, make sure it is not ultra high pasteurized though and is whole milk. Next batch I am going to add some cream for added fat! Raw milk is very hard to find unless you have access to a dairy farmer! Super easy to make mozzarella!

I think this is the texture not creamy like peanut butter. So if you wanted creamier I would add some coconut milk and/ or coconut oil and experiment to the consistency you prefer.

it turned out good. I just should have used a whole cup of hemp seeds. it was kinda watery but ill know next time. I also added the agave nectar about a tsp. and a drop or too od almond flavor. But I think if you were to purchase follow the directions of almond milk that what I did but should have used a cup full. hope this was helpful

I use 12oz of hot milk, 3T of cocoa, 2T white sugar, a dash of salt, and a touch of vanilla. But I like DARK hot chocolate, so this will definitely not be everyone's taste!

I just received my Yolife yesterday and made my first soy yogurt using the Silk brand of soy milk. It turned out fine! Not as firm as store brands, but not runny either. Next time I'll try adding something like agar or gelatin to firm it up a bit just to see what happens, and then move on to experimenting with coconut and almond milks. I love my Yolife! It's hard to find nondairy yogurt where I live, but now the search is over.

I've been wondering why that requirement as well. I've made the yogurt without preheating the milk, being careful to thoroughly mix in the yogurt first, and it came out a little lumpy. But since I'm making it for my dog, and she doesn't mind the lumps, that is the way I'm making it now.

You need to use unprocessed soymilk for this machine (You can't use processed milk to make tofu in general). To get this milk, you need to use a soy milk maker which is quite a budget. What I use now and is working really great is to use a soyflour that I buy from wholefoods to make the milk easily (it has to be unroasted soyflour though). Just mix one part of soyflour to 3 or four parts of water and bring to boil on low heat while wisking it slowley. Let simmer for few minuts and continue wisking and make sure it will not boil over. Whallaaaa ... you have a great and cheap soy milk. You can use (but you don't have to) a strainer or cheese cloth to strain it if you have any pulp or so..... This milk works great with this machine. I also found that you can use lemon juice or vinegar or even lemon salt to get the milk to coagulat nicely instead of using Nigari. I didn't try to use it in this machine yet and see how the final product will look/taste like. It adds some acidety to the taste of the milk, so you may use it if you are creating flavoured tofu with soysauce or other flavour..

I started with 10ml-15ml and then just tested the milk to make sure it was hot enough. If it starts are room temp it may be too hot. If it started from fridge temp it should be fine.

I mixed it with either coconut milk or almond milk 8 oz, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and ice chips in the blender, and it tasted fine. The only issue was the coconut oil with the ice made it clump into little chips, but the other ingredients mixed fine.

I use a heaping flatware teaspoon, and mix it with three teaspoons of sugar, then mix it into hot milk. It is sweet, with a bitter under taste. I custom-designed this recipe for my preferences, and most likely it will not suit most other people's palates.

I mix mine with 1℅ milk, which changes it. I have had thicker, but it isn't thin. Its similar to a gravy. If you mix yours with ter, it would be thinner...hope this helps!

Mix it with soy milk! I prefer unsweetened but you might like vanilla flavored. I throw in some ice cubes too and throw it in the blender, tastes amazing. If you like chocolate protein powder, a half a scoop brings out the chocolate flavor more too.

I have not had a problem. I cook it until it is at the temp indicated on directions. It is not really boiling yet even though it says to boil. I have used 1% milk and cooked for about 6.5 hrs and it's been delicious. The best I've ever had!
