My batch was watery. Any suggestions for next time? Thanks.

Try heating your milk more slowly to a temp of 160-170 and keep it at this temp for at least 15-20 min. The suggestion for culturing it longer might also help, but the longer you culture to more strong and tart. Don Richesin

You have to strain the watery yogurt through cheese cloth to get the extra unwanted liquid out. :)

Leave it on for at least 12 hours. The longer you leave it the firmer it is. Also, it is not going to be as thick as store bought because they add a thickener to it.

Hi! I also don't like "watery yogurt" so I add either a vegetable or animal based gelatin to the 42 oz. of liquid yogurt (that is, just before heating the milk and adding the yogurt culture. The latter steps are done after the product has cooled. Also, I like sweet yogurt so I add a sweetener before cooking. Afterwards, when the culture has cooled, you can add your own home-made preserve or just diced fresh fruit, nuts, chocolate bits, shredded coconut pieces, etc. Remember, you can also substitute cow's milk with goat's milk or soybean powder. Soy makes a nutritious and delicious yogurt as well. You will need to experiment to taste for these personal customized preferences. Hi!

sorry, returned this one. the espresso tasted too watery to me. Didn't use it for coffee, just espresso shots.

Hate to say it, but I'm having the same experience. I'm definitely following the instructions correctly (correct measure, filling to the right line, fluffing, etc.), but my brown rice (all we use) is coming out mushy every time. I've tried a few varieties with the same results.Anyone have any ideas?

Try cutting back liquid. Mine has turned out different when I use broth or stock instead of water.

Make sure you have the appropriate amount of water per type of food you are cooking. If that doesn't help cal them:) They have great customer service I would call them and they will probably send a replacement!

Maybe they had a bad batch..... you can return it if the one you get leaks. Mine was great.

The last few batches we ordered tasted "rusty" like old coconut water. I'd try Vita Coco

Same thing happened to me. The bottle I received squirted a stream at first. So, I ran the the whole can under warm water for about a minute then I took off the tip and placed that I hot water for about a minute. Seemed to fix the problem and it finally sprayed as a mist.

Idk. Mine is greenish and watery. It's not white at all. I do give bottle a shake or 2 to mix it. Maybe it's settlement? I haven ordered another bottle yet. Maybe ask company if they have chg the color.

I have ordered 2 batches and never had this issue. My father also uses them. Maybe you got a bad batch. I would ask the seller to exchange the rest if possible.

I have purchased several and each one have been foamy, but yet I could tell that it was just a little watery. Make sure you shake it up each time before usage to see if it takes out some of the water.

I used the same exact products and here I am trying to figure out why this second batch in my new yogurt maker is grainy, bitter and even adding 2 tsp vanilla doesnt seem to help it. The whey was all seperate when I removed to the fridg so sorta though oh oh! Im even using a termometer and follow all the directions but now thinking even tho it didnt boil maybe it was to hot. A real science to this after all.

Try shaking it up it might have separated but that would mean its old I don't recall mine being watery so I would return it if its old the sunscreen will be no good anyways.

Try filling the tub just above jets with water (after rinseing out the yuk) add a full half gall bleach (take care) rin the jets for 5 min then let it stand for at least 6 hours. Oh yuk followed by the bleach soak worked for me finally

Reseat the bin containing the water. You probably didn't push hard enough or align it properly. After a couple of times you'll get used to it!

It takes experimenting to find right amount. Water not supposed to go through fast. Try finer grind and pack down slightly.

Hi Rebecca, my first batch was bad, and they refunded me and the second one was good. It was hassle free. I feel it really help. I hope you have as good experience as I did.
