That's what I'm thinking of doing - prob chucking in a couple frozen rasberries or something, then take a bit to work. I'll pop up to lakeland on Monday then, thanks

One of these has just been offered on our local freecycle. I have offered it a new home as the boys get through pints of yoghurt a week.

You can always order it online! Our nearest Lakeland is a 2hr drive away!

Oh yes I had not thought of that.

I've used Aldi yoghurt as a starter and it works fine

[stella]

If you use aldi yoghurt as a starter what do you top the pot up with, milk or water??

[Bren In Pots]

Stella you add milk that's been heated until its sterilised then cooled to around 43 degrees c or 110 Fahrenheit.

[shirlthegirl43]

Can you use UHT milk Bren?

[Bren In Pots]

Its easier with UHT because that doesn't need sterilizing first.

Back in the 70s mother bought a yoghurt maker, it had six small pots that you put milk in then added a spoon full of live yoghurt, the machine was then plugged in must have been something like a propogator, the lid put on then left for a number of hours and hey presto home made yoghurt.

[stella]

Yes I had one of those they worked really well. I dont know if they make them anymore

I still use Stalton yoghurt maker that I bought in the '70, mine has 5 pots, and is similar to this one but mine brown and white. I've since bought a one litre Lakeland model to use along side it when I need more yoghurt.

Very simular but ours was set out like a six egg egg box 3x2, my sister had a xmas present where you made things set in clear plastic, the idea was to make a large plaque with sea shells and thing and the only recepticle big enough was the lid of the yoghurt maker when the plastis set it had melted into the lid rendering it useless and that was the end of home made yoghurt.
