successful yougurt

[plantmama]

So, I was the one who posted a question about making yougurt awhile ago and there were still some questions left unanswered in that thread.
Anyway. My first attempt did not turn out and I wasted a 1/2 gallon of milk.
I just heated the milk to 112 degrees. And probably did not keep the cooler warm enough.
So, my successful yougurt I followed the NT book. Heat milk to 180. Let cool to 110. Mix in yougurt (1/2 cup to 4 cups milk) or I used a packet of yogourmet. I put it in 2 mason jar pints and stuck it in the cooler lined with hot rags and two pints of boiling water in jars and left it for about 12 hours, though it may have been ready earlier. It came out great!

Glad your 2nd try was successful. It can be so frustrating trying new TF ways of food prep and having them continue to fail.

Congradulations! I have been thinking about doing this soon myself, so its good to hear that this method works.

Although, I have a friend from India who just refills large commercial yogurt containers with milk and sets it on top of the fridge. I have no idea how this turns out. Anybody else try this?
