Yogourmet Yogurt Starter (16 Pack Bulk Version) - Make Yogurt at Home - Starter Culture - All Natural, Gluten Free, Kosher, Halal - 3 g Sachets

I love these! I have been using this to make my own instant pot yogurt for years now, 2 packets to 1/2 gallon of whole milk is perfect in the instant pot. I use Amazon't subscription service and they just keep coming. Couldn't be easier if you're hooked on DIY like I am...

The packages don't look anything like this photo but I've been buying Yogourmet packets for literally over 15 years starting in the health food store and now on Amazon and elsewhere. I can't rely on having left over yogurt to start a new batch and with this you don't have to!It is consistent in the activity and vigor of the culture and it makes cold start yogurt a breeze. It even works with lactose free UP milk.I have also added a tablespoon of purchased plain Greek yogurt just to make the fermentation more robust and to vary the strains. That works great also. It works with or without a sugar substrate (for sugared yogurt I use sweetened condensed milk).I've even been able to get yogurt made in a milk carton in my oven when I need a bunch and was out of vessels. The Pyrex half gallon glass measuring pitcher works supremely well if I'm not using my pressure cooker.So many options and this supports them all.

Of all the yogurt starters I've tried, this seems to be the one I've used the most. The price is the best. One pack does a quart of milk. I do a gallon at a time in the INSTAPOT - so it's 4 packs per load. There's a filler material in each pack, probably milk sugar. The texture I want doesn't come from fermentation, it comes from the straining process. I seek the thickness of a GREEK yogurt, not the runny stuff you get after fermentation. and that can take some time. And effort.

The yogurt starters did not work and produced thin fluid results. I followed the directions and used whole milk as well. What I did to remedy the thin yogurt was to stir in instant pudding. This way I did not have to discard the yogurt but it is now yogurt pudding. Please refund me.

The best yogurt starter. I always go back to it if I try another.

The starter works well, but its expiration date is less than a year. I purchased several units with different features, but it’s challenging to use them within a year.

Love these kefir starters.
