Ingredients
  • 1 gallon whole milk (Organic, grassfed, and raw preferable. Or non homogenized, low pasteurized.)
  • 1 TB of store bought whole yogurt per cup of milk (For a gallon of milk this ends up being about 12ish TB as I fill up about 4 quarts)
Instructions
  1. Pour the milk into a large stock pot and bring the heat up to medium/high.
  2. Using a candy thermometer, bring the heat of the milk up to 110 degrees if you want true “raw milk” yogurt, or 170 degrees if not. STIR OFTEN TO PREVENT STICKING. NOTE: if you are using pasteurized milk you MUST bring the heat of the milk up to 170.
  3. Once you hit your desired temp, turn the heat off and let the milk come back down to room temp.
  4. Pour the room temp milk into jars and stir in 1 TB of quality store bought whole yogurt per cup of milk (I use quart jars which hold 3 cups – so for every jar I use 3 TB of yogurt.)
  5. Cover the jars with paper towel or coffee filters to breathe and set under the warm light in your oven for 12 hours.
  6. After 12 hours, put lids on the jars and put them in the fridge to set – this will take about 6 hours before you want to attempt to eat it.
