To make greek yogurt how much quantity (in grams, ounce, etc) do I have to use?

I use a quarter teaspoon per quart of milk. You will needs a strainer to seperate the whey to thicken the yogurt.

I don't know how to answer your question. To mske it greek, just strain in a filter or strainer. This allows the luquid to pass thru into a bowl or draon. Greek is just thicker cause less liquid in the yogurt.

To get Greek yogurt all you need to do is make regular yogurt. Once it is ready use coffee filters lining a strainer over a bowl. Dump the yogurt in the filter. And leave in the fridge overnight. The liquid is in the bowl, the thick sweeter Greek yogurt is left in the filter ready to use.

Yes, I use this yogurt maker to make thick Greek-style coconut milk yogurt all the time. You can find my simple recipe here: http://thenourishinghome.com/2014/03/make-greek-style-yogurt-no-straining-required/ I hope this helps. Blessings, Kelly

Basically, it's $2 or so for the 42 ounces of milk versus about $4 for the 32 oz. tub of yogurt. But you're also getting 42 ounces of yogurt, not 32.Using yogurt as a sarter, you'll also have to add in a small container of yogurt every few batches, so you could call that $2.50 depending on the yogurt you buy and what it costs you, and if you use powdered milk, add that in, too, but that box will last you a long time.For me, the added convenience of having it in individual glass jars is a big bonus.

I use Greek yogurt as a starter and the yogurt I get is much thicker than using regular yogurt.

yes, to make Greek yogurt after 6 hours you would drain the yogurt in the refrigerator over night.

I always use my homemade batch as a starter. My first batch I divide up into 3 tablespoon servings into multiple ziplock snack bags that I put in the freezer. The culture will keep when frozen, plus it is your strongest batch. Make another batch with 3 tbl spoons from the 1st batch. Then I eat my yogurt and leave over about 3 tbs for the next batch over and over until one batch seems a little too loose, then go to the freezer and start over. Think of the savings!!!

I don't know, how much milk it makes.....I use 3/4 cup when making yogurt. I mix that into two quarts of fat free milk for one batch of yogurt.....I get about 2.5 batches of yogurt out of one pack of powdered milk.

Greek yogurt is a matter of what you do with the yogurt this yogurt maker makes after it's done. It becomes Greek style when you strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth lined strainer.

I think if I wanted to make "regular" yogurt I would just use plain yogurt as my starter instead of using Greek yogurt as a starter. I don't know about draining it or not since I have only made Greek yogurt. but my assumption would be that you would still have to drain it some. But that is just my opinion since I have never made "regular" yogurt. But I don't know if the cooking time would be different....probably not.

Actually greek yogurt is a thick product. You can achieve with straining liquid. Even a regular strainer lined to allow the liquid to drain is what you should do.

I'm no expert, but I believe the thickness of the yogurt depends on many factors such as the type of milk and the starter culture you use. We use organic whole milk and a tablespoon of plain organic yogurt for starter and in 6 hours or so the Euro Cuisine makes a pretty thick yogurt- similar to what you buy in the grocery store in the little containers. Maybe if you use Greek yogurt as a starter it will come out even thicker...

No you don't need to use Yogourmet starter packets! You can try other starter packets from other companies. However it is much cheaper to buy plain greek yogurt, like Fage'. Use it as you would with the starter packets.

No, about 70-75% would be yogurt, and the rest is waterly liquid like you see it in store bought yogurt' surface if you leave them for a while. But if you leave the yogurt in the yogurt maker longer, yogurt gets thicker, and so more water. If you want to make a greek yogurt, less than half the amount(probably 1/3 of milk you use) will be yogurt. I heard the water residue is also very nutritious, so what I do is when yogurt is done, I just stir it so it becomes like a yogurt drink and don't waste anything. Some people use the water for cooking but I don't like it, so I just make a yogurt drink. But this yogurt maker makes a good yogurt.

The yogurt is made in one container. If you want to put it in jars after it's made, you can, but to make it, it's done in bulk. A recipe I make uses 3 cups of milk and 2 cups of heavy cream. It all goes into one container, so it's making 5 cups of yogurt in one bulk container.

The recipe I use calls for 2 cups of heavy cream and 3 cups of milk. the container can actually hold a little more than that, maybe 1 more cup, but most of the recipes I found online called for a 5 cup combination of milk or milk and cream. Since I've had my DASH, I've made yogurt many times and have never once had a failed batch!! If you follow instructions, you will be well pleased with your purchase.

This yogurt maker makes regular yogurt. If you want Greek yogurt all you have to strain the yogurt afterwards in the strainer provided. If you just want regular yogurt you skip the last step.

I just use regular plain 0% fat greek yogurt (Fage brand). Works fine. I have also used some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for the next batch - that worked fine too.
