  • Yogotherm Yogurt Incubator, is this only for dairy based yogurt as a non-dairy starter is not listed. I would like to make coconut milk yogurt. Thanks!
  • Thanks for catching our omission. The Yogotherm can be used with the non-dairy starter or any yogurt starter that cultures at 110ºF.

  • What is the batch container made of, please?

  • I tried to make Greek yogurt and put the active culture with the milk at 110 degrees in a mason jar in the container and closed the lid. When I checked 5 hours later it was at 65 degrees. how can I keep it warmer? I thought the yogotherm was supposed to keep it at a constant temperature. Thanks for you're insight.
  • It sounds like you are not using the container that came with the Yogurt Incubator. It could be that there is too much space between the jar and the incubator. You might be able to wrap a towel around the jar to get a tighter fit. It also sounds like your ambient temperature might be a little low. The incubator works great at normal room temps but might struggle a bit if you're using it in Arctic conditions :) Try the towel and let us know how it works.

  • Do you store the yogurt in the liner or do you then scoop it out into another container?
  • You could do either. If you want to make another batch of yogurt though, I would scoop it out into another container so you have the liner free!

  • I noticed that some people also make soft cheese with their yogurt makers.
    
    Can cheese be made in this model?
  • The Yogotherm works great for soft cheeses but would not be suitable for a hard cheese.

  • Can I fill the container only half if I don't want to make that much yogurt at a time? Or will it affect the temperature ?
  • It will cool more quickly. For smaller batches, it's better to put the yogurt in a smaller jar, then pack it into the yogotherm with a towel around it for extra insulation.​
