From the little I know about making yogurt, I seriously doubt it. These are capsules. However, you might want to find someone who knows more about yogurt making than I do to answer your question.. Probably someone on the web who can help you. Hope you can find them and make some great homemade yogurt.

Yes. However, you are limited on height and area. To make best use of this yogurt maker, I'd recommend using the supplied jars.

Yes. If you have yogurt. You can strain it with this. I also use it the strain the whey from cheese curds.

Yes... in the booklet that come with it (or in my case I had to request the book sent in snail mail) says you can use Soy or Almond milks also,that will be my next project to try making the yogurt with Almond and soy milks.

Yes , although I've never done it I know the longer u incubate the yogurt it becomes thicker and more tart. Some people prefer that.so it never hurts to try it . hope this helps.

Basically it's little bit of yogurt with active cultures, powdered milk (for some recipes), regular milk, and a thermometer. You just need to Google homemade yogurt recipes for a variety of instructions and ingredients depending on whether or not you want to make it with whole milk, reduced fat or fat free. All are possible.

Yes, you can use yogurt from your last batch...however!!! I've never done it. The reason? Because my homemade yogurt has always been so GOOD that I've eaten Every Bite and didn't have any left to use as a starter for the next batch!!

Yes, I use this yogurt maker to make thick Greek-style coconut milk yogurt all the time. You can find my simple recipe here: http://thenourishinghome.com/2014/03/make-greek-style-yogurt-no-straining-required/ I hope this helps. Blessings, Kelly

I have never made yogurt, so I don't know. It works very well however for kefir.

I am told that this is possible. I think it would be the best. The directions told me to leave the lids off of these little jars, and I ended up with teenie, tiny jars half full of two spoons of yogurt. Your method sounds better. I would personally try it with a glass jar with a lid. I hope others chime into your question, because I do not use it for the problem I stated above. I would try it again, maybe, if this would work. I am very disappointed in this product.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use yogurt but I recommend reading the reviews about the bowls breaking. I tried three different units and all of the bowls cracked in the freezer.

It can but you will need to follow additional steps.The entire process is detailed here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-make-cultured-butter/

I have not personally used non-fat dried milk to make yogurt, but I have seen recipes using it to make cheese so I would think it would be okay to make yogurt with. It is worth the time and effort to make it for me as I have dairy goats. I have plenty of good milk to make it with; add to that my homemade jam and you just can't buy that at the store! Really, the hardest and most time consuming part of the whole process is heating the milk.

The temperature is adjustable, so I don't see why you could not. I would try a small batch first. Please post your findings. Be interesting to read.

The yogurt maker comes with two different culture starters, which require different temperatures when they are introduced to the milk (thermometer is included), but presumably the same incubation temperature. I imagine you could also make non-dairy yogurts as well, using soy or coconut milk, though I've never tried it.

I guess it would depend on how thick your yogurt is to start out. I have never tried it, but it would be worth a try. I use a Donvier Wave for straining my yogurt and the mesh is much finer and works perfectly. Good luck!!

I've used it with raw milk. As far as it turning it to yogurt there was no difference from the skim milk I normally use. As for various enzymes, chemicals and compounds in the yogurt I have absolutely no way of telling. That would be something, someone in a lab or a "super nerd" with a microscope would be able to tell you. I just assume any properties the milk had before it was yogurt were still there but really, "I'm just guessing and assuming".
