Mum eats a LOT of yoghurt so I looked into this.
I bought one of those wee pots - keeps the temp at the right level but manual otherwise.
I looked at easiyo etc but nah, not especially cheap and cheap is my point.
So after a few practices this is now what I do.
Make up the milk using milk powder, slightly stronger than the pack says.
Take a spoonful (no more) of the old plain yoghurt to use as the starter (First batch I did I used a commercial starter powder)
Let it sit 6 -8 hrs. Check, it should be all wobbly and slightly come away from the side.
Put in fridge and let it cool. Add fruit and mix.
Perfect. If you want it really thick, drain off any whey before you put in fridge.
It works out to 99c a litre (not counting fruit)
I do grow passionfruit, strawberries and cherries but have been using tinned fruit mainly as I don't have ready in my garden yet.
Lemon, I made some curd, mum likes lemon so used that with our lemons off the tree.
