No. Yogurt is a culture of edible micro-organisms that grow in a nutrient medium, which cow or soy milk is, and which water is not.

Hi there - the EasiYo Yogurt Making System is designed to be used with the EasiYo Yogurt Mix (sold separately). The yogurt mix uses New Zealand Milk Powder so is very high quality and all you need to do is mix this with fresh drinking water and place it into the yogurt maker. EasiYo is an incredibly easy way to make fresh made New Zealand yogurt in the convenience of your own home - and tastes great!

Instructions are included for making non-dairy yogurts. I have not tried it though. I did have good results with sour cream.

I've never drank with water alone so I cant tell you. Chalky never. Gritty never. I mix with coconut milk, avocado, 3 carrots, 2 tomatoes, kale, 1 grapefruit, texture smooth for sure.

I put in yogurt that is thick. It doesn't seep through or anything. The liquid comes out and I remove the liquids every few hrs. depending and it's just not a mess. Don't know why, but it isn't. If I THINK it will be messy with ultra thin yogurt, either I don't attempt OR I put in a cheese cloth. But NEVER had a mess.

No. This is a simple unit with a heating element, separate vat for the making the yogurt, and a strainer and second container to catch the liquid. Nothing fancy. No paddles.

I know your question was from several months ago, but here is a great recipe for raw milk yogurt, which you can use with this yogurt maker. You do have to heat the milk slightly, but not enough to kill all the "good stuff."http://nourishedkitchen.com/raw-milk-yogurt/

Not all yogurt are lactose free. The longer it ferments, the less lactose will be present in the finished product. I can't eat a lot of commercial yogurt because they are pushing productivity and reducing the amount of time that the yogurt cultures. I find that I need to let my yogurt sit for at least 8 hours to get most of the lactose out. 4 hours just isn't enough for my system.

I checked the label for you, "... no milk, no lactose, no gluten, no wheat, no yeast..." Sooo, seems the answer is a definate no. However, they post a Questions/Comments number on the bottle 800-433-2990 M-S 9am-7om, EST if you want to speak to them directly.

Yes, you have to inactivate the other micro-organisms than could spoil your yogurt. Then make sure it is only warm when adding the starter. If you use ultra-pasteurized milk the MO have been already inactivated but you have to make sure you do not re-contaminate the milk during the handling of it.

I tried making yogurt using soy milk once and it did not "set", it was all liquid. Now I use organic whole milk and I have great results every time!

For the first 2 days I drank organic fruit & veggie juices without any sugar or sugar substitute. Then added soups, beans, hummus, barley/quinoa, whole wheat bread, homemade muffins, etc. Then 1 serving a day of raw organic whole milk. Very little meat and caffeine throughout the process. No alcohol or fried food.

As far as I know you can. I've been doing a lot of research on yogurt making and that was never mentioned as counter-indicated.

Yes milk or water. I've tried tap water, coconut water, coconut milk and 2% milk and made smoothies with it.

I have used Soy Drink with success. The full-fat Soy works better then low-fat. Although not truly "non-dairy," adding about 1/2 cup of powdered milk to the Soy Drink does produce a smoother yogurt. If you can find a "Greek-style" non-dairy yogurt for the starter, that will also help make the non-dairy yogurt smoother and thicker.

I tried soy milk but it didn't work very well -- yogurt was runny. You need to add some regular milk.
