Super Easy Homemade Yogurt (Probiotic Rich)

Unbelievably easy, incredibly delicious, loaded with high quality probiotics, super cheap to make, all around great project! Must try! Only $3. of ingredients will make 4 1/2 quarts of thick rich high quality homemade yogurt!

[@robertfontenot6034]

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.

Great tip for New England!!!

I don't understand why you keep that long warm!!! I only boil dhe milk, wait until be cool in room temperature put in plastic bag and put in microwave for 4 hours is ready.

nice greek yogurt 😊i will give it a go thanks so much

[@cherylsigler]

How long will it last and do you refrigerate it

[@isabelarazo413]

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!

How long does it need to be at a consistent temperature?

[@landonhall1451]

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.

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! :-)

[@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.

[@240weatherby3]

Going to have to try.

[@rosemarie20]

That's interesting but, it's even easier if you don't bother with heating the milk. Just let the milk and yogurt sit on a counter to get to room temperature, introduce a couple of tablespoons of the live yogurt to the milk, combine well, and let sit on the counter overnight. I've made my yogurt this way for almost 40 years and it's always delicious with almost no effort whatsoever.

[@deebarretto1950]

That's what we always did! 🙂 Especially if you're living in warmer climes. Edit: Also, we used to start a culture with an intro of a little fresh lime juice or a bit piece of tamarind into milk, if we did not have previous culture left.

Hi there my name is Paula dose your Yogurt get like Greek Yogurt? she has a good yogurt but it can get hard for me to do this if I can do it this way it will be good for me can you please tell me if it gets like greek ??? Thank you so much. Paula

[@pbhello]

one reason for heating the milk is to kill any other bacteria that might already be in the milk. this will prevent that native bacteria from competing with the particular bacteria that you add to it.

[@terifish3321]

@@pbhello good idea

[@granjmy]

@@paulafernandes5988 Paula, all greek yogurt is, is regular yogurt that has been strained in the fridge for overnight. That let's the whey drip out of the regular yogurt, which is what makes Greek yogurt so thick. This also gives you more protein per serving because the yogurt is concentrated. Search home made Greek yogurt for more instructions.

[@elizabethking6796]

In my house, we use the cold water bath method for everything! Soup, sauces, homemade dog food, etc. It ensures that every part of the pot is cold so the middle doesn't stay warm for too long resulting in potential food poisoning.

[@angelaholder742]

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!

[@byj5362]

I really like your no-nonsense way. I made it twice now and both times the yogurt was perfectly fermented. Once the temperature dropped to about 90 degrees, but the yogurt was still OK. I now don't even bother with heating the milk to 200F because the milk already comes in a sanitized bottle so there is no need for another pasteurization process. Just make sure the pots and containers are well sanitized.

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

Oh cool, YT suggested you and you're the gal who did the Tree Cuttings video I recall watching more than once a while back. Still have your willow way on my mind every now and then. Actually, I found I had two bug Willows that are now dead on the northwest corner and west side. Well, I hunted around and found two willow trees still present on my land. A few days back I finally got around to doing a fall season trimming of the one to take those branches and see how they take in some other places. Will be interesting to see what turns out next spring. I just started doing yogurt, though doing the fancy clinical studies strains and seeing how I can do cost effectively with what I have around. Testing Soy Milk for someone today and will do Almond Milk next. Thanks for sharing! Awesome to see your channel growth too!

[@jafinch78]

YT is suggesting next a Cream Cheese video, I just set my yogurt or store bough is what I used before... in a cheese cloth lined colander. I made a video too showing how I'll do like a borehole or I called weep hole to drain the yogurt in a container. Seems to work good enough for where I've used in the past for frosting on carrot cake. Thinking I might try the Knox gelatin cheese cake using for this Christmas season.

Cook it at 180 f for 30 minutes no higher no lower. I use meter from harbor fakes 19 dollars has temp probe, I just leave the meter probe in the milk. Just me. By keeping up for 30 minutes not 10 , you get rid of a bunch of liquid, makes it thicker. I also leave mine in for 24 hours at 110f to 115f to make more yogurt taste less milk taste, some say more tart.

First I want to thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I appreciate everything about your presentation and information. I am 68 and am proud to say that I'm still able to learn from beautiful people like you. Now, I am hoping I will be able to gain even a little more knowledge. :) I used you recipe and information for the homemade yogurt and have a few questions from my experience. First, it took me over 4 hours to heat my milk to 200, not sure why it took so long, I just didn't want to scorch the milk. Once I finally reached the temp needed I immediately placed it in a cold waterbath. I may be a little impatient but by the time I took it off the stove it had evaporated from 4 quarts to 3. I followed the instructions to the letter from this point on and when I opened the lid 12 1/2 hours later and it was still warm but it looked beautiful and smelled delicious. It was firm on top for the first inch, than it was just runny thick under that. I placed it all in quart jars anyway in hopes that it will firm up in the fridge. Please, can you tell me where I went wrong? Why was it not completely solid after the 12 hours? And, why did it take so long to come to a 200 heat? Can you give me any pointers for my next try? Also, I used 1% milk. Would that be a problem? Thank you in advance.

[@sheilamcdonald6631]

I'm gonna try this, can't wait. I thought I was going to the store for a small 'oui' container of yogurt, but the ingredients did not say live active cultures. Really had to look, some said yogurt cultures...but ended up getting a big container of Fage that cost $7.99. Thank you!!

I make mine the same way, except, I use my slow cooker, which just happens to have, a temperature probe. It helps in taking the milk temperature up to 180°F. Milk at my Walmart is currently $1.38 per gallon, which is the amount, I make up at one time. My yogurt has to be shared. I babysit four, yogurt loving munchkins, (great grandchildren) ages 17 months to 10 years.

[@gennilott7055]

I tried your method of homemade yogurt. It tastes great except it is not firm enough. I didn't add the extra powdered milk, all I had was dry milk of which there IS a difference. Powered milk is not instant, while dry milk is. I also wonder it it was my thermometer, will get a new one and try it again. Don't worry , this won't go to waist, unless it is my own and my husbands! thanks for posting this. Once I get my yogurt to come out right, I will do the cream cheese and I have used it for sour cream before also, really good if my memory is correct. At least I liked it!
