Before using for the first time

Preparing the ingredients

To make yoghurt you will need milk and, to start the fermentation process, natural fresh yoghurt (not heat-treated and without sugar, fruit or fruit juice).
Dry culture (yoghurt powder) can be used instead of fresh yoghurt.
Generally, any sort of cow’s milk can be used. Sterilised or U. H. T. milk will give the best results. Any other sort of milk should be heated up to 90 °C for a short time before use. Allow the milk to cool down to below 40 °C afterwards. Higher temperatures could destroy the yoghurt cultures.
Vegan yoghurt can be made of soy or coconut milk. Oat or almond milk are not suitable.

Hint:

Yoghurt made from plant-based milk turns our rather creamy and less solid. If desired, we recommend to add starch (1-2 table spoons per 1 L milk). Please follow the preparation instructions in the Recipes section.
The amount of starch may be varied according to taste.

Preparing the glass jars

Ensure the glass jars are clean and dry.
1 to 2 teaspoons of natural yoghurt are needed per glass jar.
When using of yoghurt powder, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Each glass jar has a capacity of about 150 ml.
Hint:
The milk and the starter culture from yoghurt or powder should be of the same temperature. We recommend room temperature.
- If required, briefly heat up the milk to 90 °C and then allow it to cool to below 40 °C.
- Put the ingredients into a suitable bowl and mix the contents gently but thoroughly.
- Divide the mixture equally into the glass jars.
- Put on the lids and screw them tight.
