Does anyone make their own yogurt?

8. Well group, it's done incubating and now draining

I found some cheesecloth - YAY!; already drained off about just less than 3/4 of a quart of whey - normal? The yogurt part was very soft and sort of soft-clumpy - Tastes great though! I have to confess that I used lightly processed milk w/the cream on top whole milk from a local dairy, not highly ultra homogenized processed milk from the grocery, if that makes a big difference. Gonna top off some berries in syrup on the bottom of my jars before I hit the hay around 2-3AM and refrigerate, then cross my fingers. In the meantime, MSNBC favorites then American Gods weirdness on Starz into tomorrow, hahaha!

I gave up all soda, save the occassional cocktail and now make a week's worth of iced flavored green tea, lemon, lavendar, hibiscus, etc... and store in recycled commercial tea bottles and have a breadmaker I use more than twice a year for yeasty stuff and breads. So yummy...

Thanks for all those tips and your processes. In all, it's fairly easy this new way and, all in all, a far better anxiety that all will be well! I appreciate your input!
