Judy's probably right lol Have fun Amanda! How exciting for you after so long!!!

[Amy :-)]

I just made another batch of yoghurt and when I took the lid of TM to pour it into the thermoserver there was a big dollop of froth on top. Has anyone else had this happen? Does it mean my yoghurt is not going to work?

[Amy :-)]

In answer to my own question: no, the froth didn't seem to spoil my yoghurt. Phew!

[jakodai]

I'm making this tomorrow! I bought some yoghurt to use as a starter and I'm just going to amuse the thermoserver for now. If it goes well and DS & I like it, I'm going to buy the yoghurt maker that I posted a link for previously, and the yoghurt starter.

I bought the devondale long life milk Amy, didn't you say that it was less bitey? It's or a toddler so I don't want it too strong.

[Amy :-)]

YAY!!!! I'm soooooooo excited for you Amanda

Yeah, Devondale has less of that sour bite than Harvey Fresh. Its much nicer, so probably better for a toddler! I have used both Jalna and Paul's pot set yoghurt as my starters, and they both work well. I think I will just keep doing it like this because it's cheaper, and I love the yoghurt it makes!

[jakodai]

Sorry, that should be use, not amuse... Stupid auto correct! Lol

My biggest concern with the starter is the cost of always buying more when I run out. Once I've bought the starter and it's in the freezer I don't have to worry about buying more. Then again, I'm sure I can make lots of yoghurt from one pot, and the cost isn't THAT much really. I forgot to look at he use by date when I bought it (very unlike me) but with the way DS goes through yoghurt I'm sure it won't go to waste! Lol.

If I wanted to add some puréed fruit to the yoghurt, when is the best time to do that? Will the yoghurt go runny if I mix it in when I'm serving it up? Will the yoghurt not set if I mixed it in before I leave it to sit?

I was thinking of buying one of these to put my yoghurt in instead of the thermoserver. It keeps the temperature right so you don't have to worry about blankets, etc. I also like the idea of the small containers - just a nice size for a 2 year old's mouth... lol.

Question, though - I want to buy the starter that is mentioned in faffa's original post, but I was thinking of just using 1 litre of milk, because I think 2 litres would make too much for me DS to get through. Would I still use 1/8th of a teaspoon? It's kind of difficult to accurately measure 1/16th of a teaspoon... :-/  Or is near enough close enough?

(by the way... 2 more sleeps to go...!)

The YoLife yogurt maker should now be available in Australia and has two lids - and 7 small jars and a large 2-liter jar that is used with the high dome lid (or you can use 3 1-quart or 1-liter jars.   
The vendor here is Tribest - owns the patents.
I've had one of these for a few years and recently bought another - have also sent one to my daughter.

This is one Au vendor

Lol gotta love auto correct

No, yoghurt doesn't go to waste in this house either! Using the Jalna or Paul's yoghurt is just cheaper and a lot more convenient for me. I can just go to WW and buy it whenever I want

You would need to add the fruit just before eating it. If you add it before the yoghurt probably won't set

I only make 1 litre at a time too Jakodai and use a Cheeselinks starter.  I rang them when I first got it to ask how much should I use and the person I talked to said that she just sticks the end of a knife into the granules and lifts out only a few, far less than you'd think.  That is what I do now, you'll be surprised at just how little you need.  Good luck.
