Any home made yoghurt makers out there?
I eat a lot of yoghurt and years ago used to make my own just using a flask and live yoghurt. Recently I invested in a dedicated yoghurt maker, but I'm struggling to get a yoghurt any thicker than thick milk. I'm using live yoghurt as my starter (Yeo) but to make a decent yoghurt I can have with my granola I need to strain it and it wastes so much.
I'm on the hunt for a good, reliable yoghurt starter - any ideas? I'm avoiding Amazon if possible.
