Homemade yogurt

I saw milk for super cheap today. I knew it was time to try making yogurt again. I tried once in the past with limited sucess. It ended up stringy and a yucky texture. Thanks to the internet, I was able to troubleshoot. SUCCESS!   It cost me $1.60 to make  nearly four quarts of yogurt.

Wikihow has the best tutorial  that I have found on how to make your own yougurt at home. The instructions are easy to follow. They were detailed, and had good information about many different methods of incubation. I love that there are many ways to acheive the end result. Choose what method might work for you. No need for any fancy equipment. I began the incubation proccess with the rice cooker on warm, but the temp got up to 140 in about 40 minutes time. (To warm for this process). I cooled it back down and stirred in another starter. I ended up using an ice chest.

I lined the bottom of the ice chest with a blanket. I wrapped each quart jar with a dish towel and placed the jars inside. I then used some small kids blankets to insulate all around the jars. I tucked the jars in all nice and cozy. I then popped the lid on tight and put the whole thing away where the kids wouldn't bother it. 9 1/2 hours later (when I remembered to check on it), the yogurt was done. It was really yummy and we had enough to share with some friends and bless their lives as well.
