Can we make less then 5 cup yogurt in this?

I don't know why you couldn't as long as you get your proportions right on milk to starter. I have never made less than the full amount so not 100% sure, but it seems to me that you could.

I don't see why not. It just keeps it at the right temperature. But if you are making Greek yogurt you will only get about 2.5 cups of yogurt after you filter off the whey from 5 cups of milk.

Yes you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

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.

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.

Yes, you can use yogurt from your last batch...however!!! I've never done it. The reason? Because my homemade yogurt has always been so GOOD that I've eaten Every Bite and didn't have any left to use as a starter for the next batch!!

yes--- however you can buy the little dipper/sauce cups from lunchbots and place one of those filled with yogurt inside! or something similar....

My recollection is that a set of extra jars was also available when I bought my yogurt maker. So you might recheck the site or do an independent search for them. Also, you could combine finished yogurt into a larger container if you wanted to re-use the cups that come with the unit. The jars go through the dishwasher really well and can be ready again quickly. I hope that is helpful.

You can use small, Bell Brand, glass canning jars. They are a perfect fit, and I can fit 7 into my yogurt maker.

I use this to strain yogurt which I make in a two quart Yogotherm. It will hold more than a quart--about 5 to 5 1/2 cups initially. But if you're willing to let the whey drain off for 15-30 minutes, you can eventually add a full 8 cups (2 quarts).

No, but the starter is easy enough, you can get the powdered one, or use a Tbl or two of plain yogurt which is probably the easiest. Save a little from each batch to start a new one. I LOVE my Yogotherm! Best thing ever.

No, but they have a facebook page and I posted the question there. There's no info on the website and also, please see my comment that you have to double the amount of yogurt starter used in order for the yogurt to firm up. If used as directed it is a watery mess. If you use a whole box for 10 cups of yogurt it comes out great.

You can use store-bought yogurt. We bought the starter and it didn't work. It may have been because of the hot weather and it died in shipping. I don't know. Ever since we have used store-bought and it works just fine. Use plain yogurt with live/active culture. Good luck!

I don't think so. The yogurt maker says Bonus Yogurt Maker on the box. They make a small yogurt maker, but it's ceramic.

I am told that this is possible. I think it would be the best. The directions told me to leave the lids off of these little jars, and I ended up with teenie, tiny jars half full of two spoons of yogurt. Your method sounds better. I would personally try it with a glass jar with a lid. I hope others chime into your question, because I do not use it for the problem I stated above. I would try it again, maybe, if this would work. I am very disappointed in this product.

Much easier, I'd say. You can make up to 2 qts. in a single, large container rather than have to fuss with individual small jars. In fact, that's the main reason why I chose this particular model. I've used the type that comes with the little jars, and sometimes you want to use more yogurt than comes in a little jar--say for a family recipe, or just because you like yogurt.

You possibly may be able to use the kit to make smaller amounts but I wouldn't try it the kits a designated for 6 gallons. you possibly might try dividing everything in half I simply don't know how that's going to work out. with use of Yeast and other aspects of the recipe good luck

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.
