Making Yogurt Again

Today I made yogurt again and may never do it again. I remember it being so easy and natural as I have spoken of previously here. No more!

This time it took more than an hour to prepare the milk and culture - heating it up and then cooling to very specific temperatures. Then, waiting while it was 10 hours in the cooker -

only to open and find liquid milk with no coagulation.  The leftover milk mix I had put in an old peanut butter jar and wrapped in towels and sit on top of machine had more culture then the one I used up 10 hrs of electricity over! hahahaha... think it is not worth it to make at home. I was pissed and threw all milk away knowing there was probably "something" I could do to still use it but just wanted it gone.

Perhaps I will try one more time this summer using good commercial yogurt like I used to. It may be the dried starter I bought.Or the machine temperature regulator is broken. Going off to the store to buy some good organic yogurt...
