Thanks for taking the time to share! I have been making yogurt for years-before the instant pot! My trick is to use your oven with the light on, has worked fine for me! Looking forward to more videos!
WOW! I can’t wait to try this oh my goodness!!! Just found your channel we are moving to our new home with land in January and I have been getting so much inspiration from your channel! Have a blessed day!
Would you please do a video showing how to make a batch with some reserved yogurt as the culture? Also I’m guessing the reserve part would have to be unflavored/unsweetened, is that right?
It is very simple! Just add 1/4 cup of yogurt from a previous batch instead of mixing in a culture. It really doesn't matter if it's plain or unsweetened.
Is it necessary to bring the milk back up to 110 degrees if it cooled too much when I added cold yogurt. I have not been able to get it just right when I attempted that, it was at 116. Would that kill the culture and is it worth it to continue?
How long does the yogurt tend to last like this in the fridge? Could you use raw milk with this and have it come out the same? My wife and I have found your channel very helpful. Thanks!
It's fine for up to two weeks, and yes, you can use raw milk, but you would need to heat it first, which would be similar to pasteurizing it in the sense that you are going to purposefully be killing off the natural bacteria present. This is necessary for the yogurt culture to take hold. So glad you have enjoyed my channel. I'm going to be uploading new content soon!
Farmhouse on Boone has a RUclips video on how to make yogurt with raw milk without heating the milk first,you add,I think it was, a teaspoon of beef gelatin
I’m honestly not sure as I haven’t tried it, but according to Cultures for Health, which is where I buy my culture, a direct set culture is recommended when working with ultra pasteurized milk. Others online said it works just fine. 🤷♀️
It will last up to two weeks in the fridge. I usually make a new batch every 1 - 2 weeks, and yes, I use some of my previous batch to do this. However, you must start with a culture made to be reused in this way. If you started with just some store bought yogurt, the culture will weaken over time.
I'm assuming you mean as the starter? Yes, and no. It would culture the milk, but it wouldn't give you the same taste and consistency as yogurt. It would essentially just be making more kefir.
Finally a video that explains the yogurt function on the instant pot
Thank you

Needed this, thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
Super knowledgeable!
Thank you!
I make my own almond milk. Can I make this yogurt recipe with that?
Yes, but it won't thicken the same. You can add thickeners like gelatin to improve the texture.
The organic whole milk here is ultra pasteurized. Will I still be able to use that for yogurt?
I’m honestly not sure as I haven’t tried it, but according to Cultures for Health, which is where I buy my culture, a direct set culture is recommended when working with ultra pasteurized milk. Others online said it works just fine. 🤷♀️
Would plain organic Kiefer work?
No, kefir has it’s own strain of cultures. You would just make more kefir.
How long will this last in the frig? Can you reserve 1/4 cup of this to use as your started for the next batch?
It will last up to two weeks in the fridge. I usually make a new batch every 1 - 2 weeks, and yes, I use some of my previous batch to do this. However, you must start with a culture made to be reused in this way. If you started with just some store bought yogurt, the culture will weaken over time.
Can you use already made kefir milk?
I'm assuming you mean as the starter? Yes, and no. It would culture the milk, but it wouldn't give you the same taste and consistency as yogurt. It would essentially just be making more kefir.
