Can you estimate how many quarts of yogurt can be cultured by a single jar?

Their website says about 80 quarts. My experience is that is just about right. It makes a delicious yogurt and had been exceptionally helpful in treating my GI issues. I highly recommend this product.

Warning: if you are following the SCD, Paleo, or other specialized diet, don't use yogurt from previous batches to start your next batch. You should ALWAYS start fresh to ensure a pure culture each time.

Many because you can use yogurt from the previous batch as starter for a new batch, though I understand that after a while you want to use the starter to get the original blend of bacteria. Also you use a tiny amount of the powdered starter, 1/8 of a teaspoon, for a quart of yogurt. I make the 24 hour yogurt to get rid of all the lactose. Good luck.

So two quarts of milk can be cultured with an 1/8 teaspoon of ProStart. An 1/8 teaspoon is about a 1/2 gram. There are 24 grams in the bottle so you'll get over 80 quarts of fabulous tasting yougurt

Its hard to tell. One website I visited said the jar can make 80 quarts of yogurt using 1/8 of a tsp for ea quart. Depending on how thick you want the yogurt to be, you may want to use more than the 1/8 tsp.

I don't know, how much milk it makes.....I use 3/4 cup when making yogurt. I mix that into two quarts of fat free milk for one batch of yogurt.....I get about 2.5 batches of yogurt out of one pack of powdered milk.

It depends on the yogurt starter. It turns out that they are now producing single-use yogurt starters that do not make a second batch well at all. At Cultures for Health, they call the single-use cultures "direct-set" cultures. They also make a distinction if a culture is "reusable" or not. I used to use store-bought yogurt to start if I needed a fresh start, but my favorite yogurts now don't work for making your own yogurt at home. They won't set up.

I make my own yogurt, (using 2% organic cow's milk). I scald the milk, let it cool to bath water temp.-add the starter. Then I cover, and wrap the bowl in a towel and put it in the oven with the light on, overnight. The oven light will get the temperature up to get the cultures going. Strain it in a stainless steel strainer lined with a coffee filter to make Greek style. I've been doing it this way for years. Don't need a fancy appliance-the oven light method works fine.

No, you cannot. This culture will be killed at the temperatures needed to make yogurt. Yogurt is taken up to ~114 F... This culture cannot be used above 102F.

I have not tried to but I do not see why not. By small I would think 1 quart instead of the 1.5 to 2qt batches that I have made so far.

Without having my hands on a 1/2 gallon jar, I would say not. Think you would be safe using your one quarts though.

Yes, so you can use the 7 little (6-oz) glass jars that come with, or 3 quart-size canning jars, or whatever jar you have that's about that size. P.S. I'm beyond pleased with this yogurt maker! It works really well!

I don't have a one quart Deni...I have the one shown. And um, yeah, we don't eat the yogurt off the lid either...we eat it out of the glass containers.

The only answer I could give you would be either because it makes regular, probiotic, and greek yogurt or because it includes recipes for 1 and 2 quarts of yogurt.

My recipe: 1 liter coconut milk, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon guar gum, 1/2 teaspoon agar powder, bacterial culture. Heat mixture to 180f, then cool to 110f, then mix in culture before placing in the yogurt maker. Ferment for 24 hours.

I guess also, it depends on what type of yogurt you prefer. If you like regular and not greek, the individual jars would work easily enough.

Take a colindar(?) and line it with cheesecloth. Dump the yogurt in and leave it for about an hour. I love Greek yogurt as well, and it works.

I got the information about how to make yogurt from the post by Anjana Nigam under the thread "Making Yogurt at Home without the Salton Device" I note that she says the scalding temperature should be 185 degrees - not 170 as I said. In another post someone said it only takes a few tablespoons of starter yogurt so my 6 to 8 oz. may have been unneccesary.Good luck with your experiments.

You pour your mix into a container which fits into the machine. The machine comes with one, or you can use a quart plastic container from store-bought yogurt, or you can use wide-mouth glass jars (Mason jars). The machine itself is completely plastic, but it never touches the yogurt.

I used unsweetened soy milk and i've found I need to add at least 1 tablespoon (I use 2 tablespoons mostly though) of maple surup to feed the bacteria. Since my yogurt maker takes 42 fluid ounces, I've found using more than 1/8th teaspoon of the starter is required too. The yogurt is not sweet at all.

Yes but choose plain yogurt, no flavors or sugars added. I buy a pint of whole milk Greek yogurt and use it to make 4 or 5 batches of 1 quart yogurt. I tried the powder sample that came with the yogurt maker but I like the Greek yogurt starter more.
