I bought me a yoghurt maker (Amazon Basics which has seven little individual jars to make portion sized amounts), some Bulgarian starer culture, and made my first batch - this is just the starter batch to activate the culture but I’ll be making a full batch today.

No idea what it tastes like yet but it looks and smells like yoghurt should so that’s a good start :joy: Apparently Bulgarian has the lowest carb count and highest probiotic count of any of the yoghurts which is why I’ve chosen this strain.

On my month of dairy free, that became about six weeks, the only thing I really missed was my plain Greek yoghurt.

Let us know how it comes out.

Will do :blush:
The seller was very impressive, customer service amazing so if it’s good I’ll gladly share details.

I had one of these makers that sat in a cabinet for years. I gave it away at some point - doh! Now I’m thinking about getting another one. When we were in Greece a couple of weeks ago, I ate very thick Greek yogurt every day. There was NO tartness. I tried Fage brand here (it’s a Greek company) and it was so tart I couldn’t stand it.

Can you let us know if your finished yogurt is tart?

I quite like the Fage one so I may not be the best person to guide you on this :joy: The description of the Bulgarian is that it is slightly tart though, so many not for you.

Have a look at this site as there may be one you’ll prefer -

I’ve had my first little serving of my Bulgarian yoghurt and really like it! Just boiling a litre of milk to make the next batch.

It is tart @CatGirl so you may not like it, but I really do :heart_eyes:

Ok - I didn’t realize (or forgot) that I can make yogurt in my Instant Pot. I may try it.

Great idea, I might have to try making some in my Instant Pot. I go through a lot of yogurt, I make it into chocolate yogurt often by adding stevia and 100% cacao powder, top with some berries, one of the best things ever.

Recently bought the same kit, going to give it a try now!
