Is it possible to make a big batch at the same time as also using the jars in the machine at once?

Yes. If you want Greek yogurt, however, all of the yogurt will not fit so you must empty the jars into the strainer for as long as you want to, wash/dry the jars, put it back into the jar after straining, then strain the contents of the large bin, or the other way around.

Yes, you can make a large batch using the quart container and the glass jars at the same time.

Yes. The set includes a 1 QT rectangular container AND 6 jars that all fit in the unit at the same time. You can make a half gallon of yogurt using both the rectangular container and the jars! It works great! This is my 2nd one, I gave my first one to my daughter. It also has a strainer that fits into the rectangular container to strain and thicken the yogurt. Hope this helps!

Definitely yes. I do it this way all the time. I just double my recipe and put part of it in the jars and the rest in the container. It works fine each time I've done it. I think you'll be happy with the results.

Yes, you can. Just remember, a Mr. Beer kit makes batches which are 2 gallons. Just make sure to note the batch size of any kit you use and re-portion the ingredients if the yield is more than two gallons. You can easily do this with a metric kitchen scale and a calculator. Also, a random tip, if you're ordering online, it's a good idea to keep some fresh brewers yeast on hand because depending on the age and storage conditions of the yeast in the kit, it may be dead, especially summer deliveries. And always sanitize everything pre-batch!

Yes. I've opened smaller and "normal" sized jars single handedly. Large jars would likely be difficult with one hand.

No, you don't have to make both all the time. There is a knob you can turn if you want to use both or just one. It is fun to make 2 flavors at once :)

It is not a problem for me because I use a special jar lifter to bring the jars out one at a time. Lifting all those boiling hot jars all at once could be dangerous.

You will have to make sequential batches, I do one measuring cup of popcorn at a time and it fills the machine half way.

I wouldn't for two reasons; 1) they would be very unstable with the weight of that many jars and, 2) the unit won't be able to maintain the heat needed for an additional layer. The second layer is hard enough for it to maintain. Two layers do work but they require more time and you'll notice when you take the top off one layer is significantly cooler then the other.

As long as you don't make more than two consecutive batches back to back.You MUST wait a while before making more. At least several hours, or you may end up damaging the machine!! I've never used it for more than one batch at a time, because I've never needed to.

I bought this for a project my brother was doing and I think he used the entire thing all at once. Hope this helps. :)

No, they cannot be done simultaneously...there is only 1 pump. You can do either function first. I preferred milk first, then put the shot directly into the frothed milk.

This can be made in small batches. You just have to experiment with adding the right amount of water.

Yes, you could easily brew two batches. I have used this stuff for years and it is wonderful in the veggie garden.

You can use short mason jars for individual servings, or you can make the whole batch in a large shallow sealable container. Just make sure that the container can fit (take the clear plastic t-fal top with you to the store), and that it can hold all 4+ cups for your recipe.

I would not recommend that you make only 1 Gallon at a time using this kit as you only need a new fermentation bucket, that is fairly cheap considering what your planning

I have not had this experience. For my first batch I use powdered starter mix from a health food store. In the first batch I leave one jar plain, and use that as a starter for the next batch. I've successfully gone at least 4 batches this way before I start over with a new package. Not sure I even need to do that. It's true that the first batch is a little firmer, but not much. Probably just need to increase the incubation time for batches that use a jar from the last batch.

If you can wait 23 minutes between each copy as I do then yes. If you want to make more copies then 1 at a time, can a multi- stack that can copy 4,5 or even 6 at a time.

No you need to do that separately but if you have a kitchen aid mixing machine use that or mix by hand
