My wife and I have made countless batches of yogurt (and sour cream) over the years in almost the exact same way. One thing we’ve found great luck using for the incubation period is an electric blanket. Wrap your pot in the electric blanket set on high and let it sit over night. Either method produces good results...just another option if you have a electric blanket around.

So i followed your directions but because I live in a warm country, instead of using a cooler I just wrapped my container in towels and put in a really big saucepan. I placed bottles filled with hot water around the towel to keep it warm. It's a success every time. I've done this twice, first with UHT full cream milk with a little dry milk and the second time only using dry milk and hot water. Both ended up successful and even though they are supposed to be lesser quality milk, they still turned out really better than I expected. Thanks to you and to all youtubers who take their time to pass on what they know!

This was super easy. bought a quality store brand Greek yogurt with multiple active cultures. used whole milk. took about an hour to get it up 200 degrees using a candy thermometer. used two jugs of hot water in the cooler and let it sit for 11 hours. wonderful results. better than store bought. smooth and creamy. next step . . . cream cheese. thank you. thank you.

I just found your channel and have subscribed; I LOVE that you are teaching the OLD WAYS, which were always the most frugal and sensible ways. They wasted nothing! Really enjoying your content.

I make yogurt using a tablespoon or more of yogurt with live cultures. This week I experimented with maple, and I am so excited because it turned out really good. I simply put 1tablespoon of yogurt and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup in a 16oz jar and stir. After boiling the milk for a minute or so, after cooling to 110-120F I pour in the jar, stir really well, close the jar and put it in a pot with dish or hand towels, wrap it really good then cover the pot with a lid and put it in the microwave. Leave the yogurt there overnight and the next morning it's perfect, transfer in the fridge for a few hours and it's even better.

Your channel is amazing and my favorite by far. Not to mention you are so gorgeous and so articulate and extremely knowledgeable on everything you talk about. I wish I could rate your channel besides giving thumbs up on videos. I'm binge watching all your videos right now. Have an awesome day! 😊

I just pulled my first batch of yogurt out of the ice chest. SUCCESS! And your method is so easy. Thank you. Now to follow up with your sourdough starter....

[rebeccadees]

I do this in my instant pot using the yogurt cycle. On the boil cycle it will get to 200 degrees then cool it down to 110 degrees then add your yogurt with live active cultures. Then I put it back in the instant pot on the no boil yogurt cycle and it keeps it warm. The longer you let it set the more tart it is. i have a yogurt strainer that I put the yogurt into and it separates the whey from the yogurt. I have used lifeway ultra pasteurized milk and added the yogurt with live cultures I use the yogurt cycle on my instant pot that doesn’t boil but keeps it warm until it has the taste you like … tart or mild.

Awesome videos and knowledge. You are a treasure and a credit to a better human condition. Thank you for sharing your know how.

Thank you for this tutorial. I literally put this together last night, and this morning my husband was beyond thrilled to have yogurt that is actually better for him than the flavored ones you get at the store.

[jimdusek]

This is my first time making yogurt and I did exactly as you explained. The next morning the finished yogurt was Perfect! I even added some left over powdered milk to reduce the liquid whey and it did thicken the yogurt but not completely. I had to filter the last quart left in the pot saved the whey and stored the yogurt in quart jars. After cooling in the fridge, the texture was virtually Greek yogurt texture! Thanks for a really good job explaining the procedure! Yeah! :-)

Thank you. You just taught me how to get my yogurt thicker. I will try adding milk powder.

[susangray]

I add about a half cup of sugar to the pot when adding the milk. It dissolves and gives the yogurt a mild sweetness. 1/2 cup to a gallon is very !ow sugar, but its just enough to cut the tart. I have a dehydrator so I just use that for about 20 hours.

[david_walle]

I just did this with raw milk and it worked great! I let it ferment about 11.5 hours. Thank you for this awesome video! I didn’t use any powdered milk but still it turned out to be decent thickness. I used 2 plastic containers (one stacked inside the other) instead of a cooler but it worked fine! Used the gallon of hot water too! Great video!

[elizabethhendriks]

thank you for sharing this! My first batch came out terrific! You are a great teacher thank you for pointing out all of the tips I would not have thought of those on my own thank you so much!

[jonl.garton]

I put mine in the cooler last night around 5:00 pm. I thought I would wait until this evening to check on it. Very educational video, very simple to follow. If this works well I’ll be going straight to the cream cheese. Thanks!

[gerardjones]

Just made it using elec blanket to keep it warm, up here in northern maine it snowed today.
Tastes buttery and naturally sweet, not sour like bought brands.

[angelaholder]

My sister & I made this for the first time last night. We live in Texas & it was between 50-60 degrees & had the cooler inside, it turned out AWESOME. Thank you for sharing & you are right, it does taste better than store bought!

Hi ya HT! The 1st x I learned how to make yogurt was from a magazine. Wasn’t told to use a thermometer ( but what u said by using one makes a lot of sense) it said to get milk very warm, stir it, let cool, put n jars, (with individual jars u can put n different flavors) to each jar add 1Tbs yogurt, 1 third or quarter cup sugar (can’t remember) 1 tsp flavoring, mix it, (my favorite is instant coffee) put lids on jars, put warm water n a pot, add jars of yogurt, put n oven using pilot light for keeping it warm, it said between 100/110 was good, mine stayed at a 100, leave overnight. It was pretty thick, but I’m going to add powder milk next x for more thickness, I enjoyed this, now on to your cream cheese. Thank u
