  • I use raw milk & have read that it's only necessary to heat the milk too 110 degrees if I don't want to pasteurize it. Why would the milk be heated to 180 & then cooled to 110?
  • If you plan to use a direct-set starter, you only need to heat your milk to 110°. A reusable culture like the Greek or Bulgarian requires a small amount of milk to be heated to create a separate mother culture. You'll find information about making raw milk yogurt here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/raw-milk-yogurt-video

  • I'm not quite understanding what part of the yogurt making process this saves time (or effort?) on; do you just add the milk and cultures right into the jars, turn it on, and it's done hours later, or does the milk still require heating, cooling, etc. Thank you for the clarification! Becca
  • A yogurt maker is an efficient way to maintain the temperature necessary to culture the milk (110°). You would still have to heat then cool your milk to 110° before adding the culture. The small jars are perfect for making and storing your yogurt in single serving portions.

  • Can you use any glass mason/canning jar with this yogurt maker or do you have to use the ones provided? Also, for the jars provided, do the lids screw on?
    Thanks so much!
  • The glass mason jars will not fit into this yogurt maker. The lids are screw-top.

  • I've been watching your videos and looking around your site. How does kefir differ from yogurt? In a house that cools off during the day, should I be using a machine like this to keep my kefir at your recommended 70deg?
    Thank you!
  • Kefir is different in that it contains different bacteria than yogurt and also contains beneficial yeasts. The yogurt maker would be too hot for the kefir. It would be better to use a dehydrator, a oven with the light on, or just a warmer place in your house.

  • I live in Europe - is the yogurt maker dual-voltage (110-240) or just 110v?
  • This model is only 110V.

  • Can I start a batch of yogurt (my first time) from a store-bought yogurt or do I have to use the starter sets I saw on this site?
  • You can add 1-2 tablespoons of high quality plain yogurt (with active cultures) per cup of milk. Heat the milk to 180 degrees and then cool to 110 degrees. Add the yogurt and mix well. Stick it in your yogurt maker and you should have yogurt in the next 12-24 hours!

  • In the picture, I noticed the jars without the lids. My questions are:
    1. Do jars come with lids?
    2. Do jars need to be lidded the process of yogurt making?
    Thanks!
  • The jars do come with the lids. You can make the yogurt with or without the lids on. It is largely a matter of preference, and how it works best for you. The lids can keep the yogurt from developing a dry "crust" on top, but they can also cause some condensation to occur. Ideally, you shouldn't have either problem, with or without the lids, but the water content of the milk, as well as the humidity in your environment, might make a difference.

  • How does this yogurt maker compare to the other one you are selling? What are the differences?
  • The main difference with this yogurt maker is that it has a timer, which will shut off the heater when the yogurt is finished.
