does this make good yogurt?

Yes. I have made the Lowfat frozen strawberry yogurt and even used less sugar than it called for and it was great. Although it calls for mixed berries, I used frozen strawberries and it worked.

I saw your post about the yogourmet yogurt maker. I also want one I can use with the SCD . Have you found a more suitable one yet?

Yes I would say your machine is defective. I believe your temp needs to be 110. I had an old machine and it registered only 100 and it didn't work to make yogurt.

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 use it to make yogurt all the time. I follow all the steps up to the point when I would wrap the pot in a towel to culture overnight. Instead I place it in the wonderbag and it cultures perfectly!

No, if you get a working one, it will make any yogurt. The only difference between Greek and regular yogurt is Greek is strained to make it thicker.

I use mine almost exclusively to make low-fat frozen yogurt. It works very well. The key is to make sure all your ingredients are cold before you put them in the machine (including ingredients, like fruit, that you add near the end). The yogurt is pretty solid after about 30 minutes. I've been very pleased with this machine.

I'm not sure if that is the make of my yogurt maker, but that is exactly how I use it. It allows me to make twice as much yogurt. I love it

I tried the method you refer to and settled on 108 degrees for 4 hours. I find it give the yogurt a little tartness and added firmness. I like to strain mine to thicken after it's chilled. Makes superior greek style yogurt like my mom use to make.

This appliance does not heat the milk initially. You must do that separately first. It is meant to hold the yogurt cultures at the ideal warm temperature for proper fermentation and then cool them.

I don't think so. I bought it to use in making yogurt, bot it is so slow I use different ones I have. I guess one must pay more to get one that they are happy with.

I can't say for sure that it will dissolve well in plain yogurt. I never used it that way. I always use it for a smoothie which I mix in a blender. It tastes great though.

Yes, it will. :) You'll want to add some, let it sit and decide if it's thick enough for you before adding more. You -can- get a slight bit of breakdown over time because of the enzymes in the yogurt, but it's very rare and usually homemade yogurt is eaten far before it's a problem.

Interesting question! I love coconut milk, but I've never tried using it for yogurt. Any input?

Use a plain yogurt from a good brand. The best will be you make your own yogurt.

Yep. I tried it once using a recipe I had for soy yogurt. The coconut milk I used wasn't smooth so it was like having yogurt with bits of coconut in it but it was definitely yogurt. Hope that helps.

I have not tested the temperature, but mine makes perfect yogurt every time.
