Yogourmet?

[littlehawksmom]

I can not seem to keep my raw goat milk yogurt going for more than one generation. I can start it from Redwood Hill yogurt, but I don't have very easy access to it (45 min drive).
My body doesn't like cow milk very much (although butter is fine) and yogourmet (freeze dried starter) has skim milk powder in it. I also don't like the idea of a milk powder. But it will end up being such a small amount...
(I also thought the gluten in Rice Dream was such a small amount that it couldn't possibly be a problem for ds, but after eliminating it, I think it did matter, so maybe I am answering my own question...) .
Any thoughts?

I use Yogourmet. It just makes thick yogurt and I can use it over and over as starter. I have tried just about everything

I actually have heard good things about the ABY-2C culture from this company and am getting ready to order some: http://www.dairyconnection.com/yogurt.htm

It doesn't appear to have dry milk in it - seems pricey up front, but not if you consider 1/16 tsp does like 2 quarts of yogurt.

Here's a link to some info about using this culture to make raw milk yogurt - http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/yogurt.htm

This is an excellent non-dairy yogurt starter, if that would help. As a PP mentioned, it seems pricey up front (compared to Yogourmet), but you use very little of it. And you can use one batch of yogurt to start the next, which will stretch it even further.
