Hi Kimm...
Well, three kids, there you go, you make the perfect candidate for a yogurt machine, and save a lot of $$!
My husband (the oldest kid in the house) simply loves it and is now eating it regularly, which is a huge accomplishment!
Take care,
Regina

I guess all one needs is an incubator with a constant temperature, and these basic little yogurt-makers provide just that!
Thanks for stopping by,

Years ago.... (Reply to this comment)

....I used to make yogurt regularly with my $5 yogurt making machine. Wish I still had that yogurt maker, but this sounds excellent. I hate paying those high prices for yogurt too.
Terrific review.

Acidophilus? (Reply to this comment)
by reginafug
Hi Jill
Yes, L. acidophilus, does ferment milk but it's typically added to the milk.
I'm just a cooking nerd (**smile**) and from what I understand, probiotics such as L. acidophilus, L. casei and Bifidobacterium species need to be introduced into the milk being used when making yogurt, thus the need to be particularly selective about the type of yogurt you purchase as your starter.
Many of the commercial dry starters (they come in a sachet type wrapping) contain said probiotics. I've purchased the EuroCuisine yogurt starter and it contains L. Bulcaricus, S. Thermophilus, L. Acidophilus

Hi Chris,
Shall I call it "EpiYogurt"...LOL!
Problem is several people here love my yogurt, but they always want freebies, which I'm not in that type of business, heh!
Anyway, so far I could make a living by setting up a little stand on the side of a road (next to the other local ladies selling fruits, veggies, whatnot) to sell my yogurt and Caipirinhas (a Brazilian drink sort of similar to margaritas - I'm told mine taste better than the ones at the bars).
Can you see an Expat woman selling stuff on the side of the road, though? Well, enough silliness.
Take care and thanks for stopping by,
Regina

Hi Barbara,
Yup, I'm a cooking nerd, alright! And, the fact that I'm cheap (hate to pay $3.75 for one Activia or Dannon Natural) caused me to experiment with making yogurt at home.
It's quite rewarding to make it at home, especially when each batch gets better and better. My latest experiment was a banana yogurt (blended a fresh banana into the milk) and then scalded the milk, added the starter, and 7 hours later, voila, I had banana yogurt, LOL!
Thanks for stopping by,

acidophilus? (Reply to this comment)
by njchicaa
Doesn't lactobacillus acidophilus also ferment the milk? How would the "culture" get into the yogurt otherwise?
Just a question from a science nerd,
