Well a cpl of years ago he decided to please yogurt moi by making the real thing at home



First few batches were sloppy ... taste ok, but soft



About to give up on the idea, but invested in an incubator and past effort, he added the mix at considerably higher temp than directions stated as essential. Still takes it over 180 F on heating, but doesn't cool it as far as stated.



All mixes are unique, but rule of thumb would be if it says cool to 80 & add mix, try 110 F



Since he discovered this, every single batch (1 per wk) is thick and delicious  - he makes 2 quart batches



OH, and lately he tried 3 x 5 gram packs of mix instead of 2 - wowzers, is it goooood

For the amount of yogurt my family eats it's more practical if I just buy it.

I understand. And if one buys on sale, it's not too bad price-wise and some taste pretty good



The flavor and the good for you things in it is no comparison. Problem with commercial stuff is they have to deactivate the good stuff so that it keeps from factory to home. I know some say extra probiotics, but what they have to do to make it not go bad kills much or most of the good things in it. There is no way around that.



He has learned how to speed the making it process greatly and takes about 1/2 hr start to finish now



I would sell my soul for what he makes so I do .... It earns him "favors" .. a fun game we have



For me its win / win

I have never tried home made yogurt, so I cannot say..



We don't buy enough from the supermarket to make it cost effective to invest in an incubator..



But maybe if we had some delicious home made yogurt we might change our minds.

Yes. It's all in the taste test + nutrition



Hey. I've used commercial most of my life .. .always an essential for me. It's only the last cpl of years I've experienced the real thing



It has become a "luxurious" part of our lives of late  ... just the 2 of us now and time to do things we could not before .. .a lot like taking a bit more time to make only espresso correctly and every time now, another relatively new luxury in our lives,



When your kids are grown, you and your mate might take time for the good stuff, lol

And lemon juice works on many fruits .... apples, pears etc. especially when combined with tight air-free bagging

When I use to go hunting I would get blood on some of my clothes from gutting & skinning the animal, meat tenderizer  seasoning salt would take out the stain. Make a paste and apply foe 20 min.

Note: works on all blood.
