    I just made my first batch and I followed your directions to the T. It turned out perfect. If you wanted to double the amount of milk to a gallon do you need to dbl the amount of the yogurt starter from 2T to 4T???

    Success!!! I made it again and made sure my starter yogurt had ā€œliveā€ cultures. I let it strain overnight and it was actually too thick for my liking (but at that thickness, it would be the perfect replacement for sour cream). I added back some of the strained whey until it was the consistency I was looking for. Perfect!

    p.s. I saved 2 TBS of the unstrained yogurt to use as a starter for my next batch. I will double the recipe next time.

    I just tried this yogurt recipe and it is very runny. After reading through the comments, I finally came across a comment that said not to use Greek Yogurt as a starter; that is what I used šŸ˜¢

    Edited: the problem was not the Greek yogurt, the problem was that it did not have ā€œactiveā€ cultures. I choose the wrong starter.

    The final result looks like the traditional Lebanese yogurt spread called "labaneh"…which is basically a very thick strained yogurt…tastes real good with a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of salt.

    This what my son in law whatsapped me after making him home made cheese cake with the yogurt and home made blackberry curd : It's so light, fresh and tasty. Literally the best cheesecake I've ever had, no joke.

    I made this instant pot yogurt but I added a pint of whipping cream to my milk and start the process. I strain mine for over 24 hours till thick and like soft icecream. So delish.

    Hi, I have a silly question? When yogurt is done boiling/done in instant pot, do I wait for the steamer thing do drop before I open the lid. I haven't used my instant pot yet? Thanks.
