Please help, I did make the yogurt in the instapot, which was easy and came out a nice texture, so I put it in the fridge to get cold, and the next day I put it in containers, when I went to get some I found it to be stringy, I must have done something wrong, does anyone know what will make yogurt come out stringy???? I love the recipe and the video.
Question… I'd like to make yogurt again but this time. I'd like to do things a tad different. Make steps shorter if you would. Let me explain what I'd like to do and then tell me if/when this will fail or not work please.
I'd like to use jars. Put some fruit preserves that I homemade at the bottom of these jars. Get my cold mix of milk, active yogurt tbsp and condensed milk. Mix it up real well. Pour into said jar with homemade fruit preserves ALREADY at the bottom, lid and THEN place in IP for the 8 hours, then fridge for 4-6 hours. My question is, is this doable? Smart? Would it hamper the cultures from cultivating being that there are "foreign" ingredients already in the jar?
My point in trying it this way is really to omit some steps. Yes, I can do in the pot as a whole for the 8+ hours, take out, let fridge, then put fruit preserves in jar, fill jar etc. I'm just wondering, if I can do it ALL together versus the elongated route?
Question is directly to Frieda but anyone whose tried it? I welcome your responses too!
Many thanks in advance!
Aloha,

Love this recipe
Very good video! Informative! Nice to have it explained in detail.
Can you make Greek yogurt with these instructions? Thank you for the video!
mine didn't turn out. it was completely liquidy. kinda sweet smell, slightly bitter taste. any advice? I used dairy pure's whole ultra-pasteurized milk.
thank you for explaining the reason for using Fair Life milk. I watched another channel first that said to use it, but they never said why it had to be FL and not any other ultra-pasteurized milk. I made one batch with FL and another batch with the Horizon brand UP milk (just coincidence, ha). I liked the FL one better and now understand why. The other channel also said to use sweetened condensed milk and I thought, no, it's much too sweet. but now I think I will like it.
When do I add the natural bliss if I have to use the boil method? Watched your video, bought the ingredients then realized I have an ip-lux. Do I add after the boil when I add the yogurt starter before I incubate? Thank you
I made yogurt today as per your instructions. It turned out perfect. Thank you 😁
Help!!!
I have been making yogurt for about one year in my IP with NO problems.
My last two batches have come out looking like lumpy melted ice cream.
I checked the Fairlife milk & Fage expiration dates & they were good. I double checked the ring & the vent – no problem there, I also checked it was “yogurt button indicating NORMAL & 8 hours. I used condensed evaporated milk as my sweetener. All this has worked perfect in the past.
What is happening? 😢😢😢
I even tried straining the soupy yogurt – no change in texture & no whey strains – just soupy mess strains through
Will my yogurt be edible if I accidentally left the IP on venting?
I don't have enough of the Fairlife milk . Do you think it would still work if I was to heat my regular whole milk to 180, bring it down to 105, add the starter and the Fairlife milk to the regular milk then just set the yogurt button for the 8 or so hours?
I am not trying to make sweet yogurt so will therefore skip the sweet condensed milk step. The amount of sugar in sweet condensed milk scares me. Will just make yogurt using whole milk after sterilizing my 6 in 1 instant pot, add in a tbsp of yogurt , press the yogurt option twice and wait for it
Do I have to use the sweetened condensed milk?
I'm not fond of just plain yogurt so I like some sweetness to mine. So when I made this recipe I did add sweetened condensed milk but it was not sweet at all. And here I thought it would end up being too sweet. Do you have any ideas why this might have happened? BTW: the yogurt did turned out wonderful! I also wanted to add that for another batch I tried a whole bottle of the natural bliss to my Fairlife milk and still didn't have any luck tasting it in that batch either. It's as if I never added it. I can't figure out what could be going wrong and why the taste of either one wasn't there. I followed your recipe to a T, too. Any suggestions would be great!
Thank you for the recipe and the instruction. My question regarding Greek yogurt is do I chill the yogurt in the fridge and then strain it, or do I strain it immediately after coming out of the instant pot.
How much Natural Bliss should I add to my mixture?
Love your video!!
your attention to detail is nothing short of phenomenal. .
I got all the tips of an expert minus the bore that comes with scouring several YouTube videos in order to get the education you need b/4 embarking on your endeavor.
Frieda this is the best!!
thumbs way way up👍👍👍
If you have to search out special milk, you might as well just buy yoghurt.
Thank you so much for this video. It was very detailed, I learned so much!
I can only get the 2% Fairlife milk here. Can I use that instead of the whole milk?
Can you use the instant pot lid to cover for the cold start yogurt?
Hi Frieda, thanks so much for your "Cold Start" recipe. I make it all the time and it always turns out wonderful! I do have a question I'm hoping you can answer for me. If I should have any extra yogurt once I'm all done making it, would it be alright to freeze it, and will it taste just as good as fresh? Thanks so much in advance, and have a great day!
Great video Frieda. I've been making Dr. William Davis "L Reuteri" yogurt using half and half and it's been turning out thick using the "cold start" method with my Instant Pot. However, I decided to make some yogurt with regular whole milk and it never got thick. I now see that I need to use ultra pasteurized and filtered milk next time.
So thanks so much for the detailed video and tips!
Thanks for this video. mom and I love plain yogurt then add fresh fruit with a little honey or better yet pure maple syrup.. Yummm
Can you put the yogurt mixture before incubating in glass jars in water in instant pot with this method ?
Can you check out Dr William Davis’ LReuteri yogurt? I have not had great success. I thought it might be due to long recommended incubation time, 30-36 hrs. My last batch separated, but most was still good. Maybe my temp was too high. I’ll have to get an instant pot.
I love your video. I have been looking into making homemade yogurts. I find yours more simple. Thank u
Do you have to boil ultra pasteurized milk
