Nah, you don't churn anything to make yogurt. The container has to be undisturbed and NOT HANDLED for up to 10 hours or so. Some people use big mason jars, and when they are ready to be processed, they put blankets in big boxes, put the mason jars carefully in the blankets, fold the blankets over them (so the yogurt is in the dark), and cover everything up. It's called incubating or something like that.

Then you put it in a corner in a room and LEAVE IT ALONE for as long as you want it to develop the taste you prefer. Some people do it 24 hours. Some 12 hours.

It's a try and see how it turns out sort of project.

Me??? I went the easy way. I bought the Yogurt maker. Best thing I ever did. I have nice LIVE cultures in the container and I bought several little cup things, so when it's all processed and it's been in my fridge for the two hours (as per the instructions), then I take out the container and transfer the yogurt into the little cup things.

For Alan, I add some vanilla, a dash of honey, and some stevia. He goes nuts.

Takes very little to make him go nuts.

I'll tell you, this was the easiest thing I ever did.

And cheap!!!

lol
