Will the machine make good yogurt using soy milk?

I tried making yogurt using soy milk once and it did not "set", it was all liquid. Now I use organic whole milk and I have great results every time!

We haven't tried it yet, but you in general you can make yogurt using starter from store-bought yogurt that has live bacteria. So it should work with this machine.

Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!

Yes. I have the YM100 model and it fits well. The only advice to have better yogurt production is to leave the middle of the top tier open (don't place a jar there) so that you get better air flow. Making a nearly double batch I set the timer to 7 hours. Not too tart. Also, consider draping with clean muslin kitchen/ bar towel to trap heat in. Hope this helps.

Yes, definitely. I have made soy yogurt in one. Just put the container in without the shelves and set temperature to 105-110 degrees.

I have tried heating soy milk and it turned a little grayish and separated a little. Almond milk works better.

~good question & good idea. i love making homemade yogurt too, but i use raw organic milk. i don't know the answer, but i suggest that you contact the distributor (address is on the can) and ask them. i'll do the same :) i do make the best homemade ice cream with fresh strawberries & the organic coconut milk.gigi

This is great. I use Elaine G's recipe too so this info helps. I wanted to know if I could use 2% lactose-free milk since I'm short on regular. I'm also going to add 5% cream- which I didn't realize had other ingredients in it- like "modified milk ingredients. " If you can make yogurt with soy milk- [which I would never use], I don't see why this wouldn't work. I'll try and see. I have also found keeping the temp. at the simmer point for a minute before cooling and the culturing temp. a little cooler than suggested makes a thicker, firmer result.

You may also want to check the recent thread on making yogurt using soymilk. It turns out that lactose is not essential to the process.

Work like blinder heat up the soy milk. Manual filtering for residual. The only disadvantage is cleaning the blender with electrical part attach with it

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.

It is a lot of work for very little soy milk that I have yet to make taste good. I am going to try to make tofu from it.of

Yes you can use this soy milk to make tofu, you will need additional equipment and supplies for making tofu depending on which method you choose.

I bought it to make soy yogurt - which they say it would - but didn't work for me at all.
