A little, I think a pinch. Then you can repeat taken a tea spoon for 3 times. The texture will be the same.

Hi George! It really all depends on your taste. Personally I use 2 teaspoon because I prefer a stronger distinct flavor. You might want to experiment by starting out with 1 teaspoon and take it from there. Much success!

I use 1 and 1/4 Teaspoons but remember you must be sure to bring your milk to almost simmer and then let cool to room temp. Heat will kill your starter I also have a yogurt maker and set it for 9 hrs.

You can use store bought plain yogurt with this as a starter. You will also be able to make a yogurt cheese which is a bit of a chore, but is pretty good.

You should be able to use goats milk and yes you do need a starter. You usually just add 1 cup of yogurt to the milk to act as a starter.

You can use homemade yogurt as starter for another batch. I save the whey to use for breadmaking, and have found that I can use about 1/4 cup whey as starter for a new yogurt batch, so I don't have to worry about saving some yogurt to use as a starter. The whey alone works great!

Hello Thank you for your question. Somewhere between 1.5 cups and 2 cups. You may want to experiment a little. Some people prefer a thicker growth and some people prefer a little thinner.

I use 2, 5g packets of yo'gourmet freeze-dried yogurt starter with 2 quarts of any kind of milk. The only change I make to the directions on the back of the packets is that I incubate it in the Yolife yogurt maker for 24 hours. I make the double batch and make it in 2 wide mouth quart glass jars that fit just fine under the taller lid.

YES, I just started using my own starter from my previous batch of yogurt. The previous batch was made with a starter packets, two (2) packets of 5g of yogurt starter, making two (2) quarts. My new batch I used 3-4 Tablespoons of previous batch, which is probably way too much. It did come out wonderful, a little thick, just add some milk if it is too thick. I have read and you only really need "...2-3 teaspoons of commercial or homemade yogurt..." I just get carried away. I make at least two (2) batches a week, so yummy--add raspberries for a topping. I use 2 bags of frozen raspberries place in a pot, adding some water, maybe a 1/2 cup and add about 1/2 cup of sugar.

I believe it is the type of starter you use and not the machine that determines what "milk" products you can use. I know the yogourmet brand says you can use other milks like soy and almond... hope this helps.

So two quarts of milk can be cultured with an 1/8 teaspoon of ProStart. An 1/8 teaspoon is about a 1/2 gram. There are 24 grams in the bottle so you'll get over 80 quarts of fabulous tasting yougurt

As much as you need. You could get the milk ready ahead of time, make the coffee and them reheat the milk to get more foam. All you need too do is to practice.

It comes with a 16 ounce Milk Pitch, that works good. I also bought a nice 20 ounce froth pitcher cause you I only fill 1/3 full on any pitcher as you need room to froth/stretch the milk, so 6 ounces in the 20 ounce pitch allows my wife and i to both have enough for a couple of cappuccinos.

Just put in as much grounds and water as you need. My first cup in the morning is always a full 16oz cup, but I often make only an 8oz cup.

You can programme either a 4oz or 8 oz coffee. You can prepare 2 coffees at a time but only 1 milk based coffee at a time because there is just 1 milk spout.

How much strained yogurt you actually end up with depends greatly upon the kind of milk you are using and the length of time you strain it. The bonus pack comes with a round "wheel" guide for batch yields. It specifies 5 cups milk and 1/2 cup starter with 9 hours incubation time. The yields it lists are: Whole milk with 2 hours strain time makes 2-1/2 cups Greek Yogurt, 2 percent milk with 2 hours straining makes 2-1/4 cups Greek Yogurt, 1 percent milk with 2 hours straining makes 2 cups greek yogurt, Skim milk with 2 hours straining makes 1-3/4 cups greek yogurt. It also has stats for Skim Plus (10 hours) and Soy Milk (11 hours) each yielding 2-1/2 cups Greek Yogurt. Longer incubation times cause the yogurt to be more tart and causes greater separation between the yogurt and whey.

I'd be willing to say about 10-12 cups we do an 8 cup recipe and it has plenary more power and room for a good 2- 4 cups maybe even more! Hope this helps.

I would say 4 cups which would be half the water allowed would be the least amount you could make at one process My assumption only, the directions does not note how little you can make at one processing. I always make the full 8 cups, It is better brewed coffee too!

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.
