I have had a lot of success heating 1 litre of fullcream milk on 90 degrees speed 3 for 15 mins, then cooling to around 38-40, adding 1/4 cup of yogurt (now my home made, but the first time a good quality 'pot set' plain yogurt with no additives). Mix together and put on 37 degrees speed 3 for 2 mins.

I put in thermoserver, wrap in a towel and put in an esky for about 12 hours - no failures yet!

When making yogurt when would I add some fruit? And do people add a sweetener to the yogurt?

[dede]

I found the answer with a bit of searching. Don't add any fruits / sweeteners etc until after the yogurt has set and chilled in the fridge.
Now the other thing is can I use light milk or does it need to be full cream? (I cant be bothered searching again lol)

Dede I have success with any milk including full cream to skim and to date haven't had a failure with my thermoserver. I make approx 6kg of yoghurt a week!!!! 

[CreamPuff63]

  you are in a serious production line!

[dede]

6 kg a week !! Holly crap   . Although if I brought 6kg a week my lot would eat it. I need to get some pot set yoghurt and I will try again.

[CreamPuff63]

I am now making my yoghurt without the powdered milk. It is working with either hilo or full cream milk.

faffa have you got an update on this - do you still use powdered milk or the real thing?

I haven't made yoghurt for about 5 months because the Easiyo was not working. Despite earlier successes we consistently had runny yoghurts and lost faith.

[dede]

CP I have the Easiyo as well, Mine failed last time too so I gave up. Maybe we need to try a different method.

[faffa_70]

Nope no powdered milk 

though in an update I have just recently gone to using a yoghurt starter from cheeselinks as the kids often ate all the yoghurt without leaving me a culture  now it isn't a problem ... eat away

Fundj, mine lasts a couple of weeks in the fridge - it never has a chance to go longer than that.
