Review: Best yogurt ever - Due to a change in my dietary needs, I have been looking for plain yogurt made with oat milk. I may as well have been hunting for the gold of the Aztecs. I have an Instant Pot with a yogurt setting, so I decided to just make my own. An internet search found this company, and I then discovered that I could get the starter kit here on desertcart. It took two tries. It turns out that the automated yogurt process isn't quite so automatic, and the first batch didn't turn out. Add the fact that my eyes are bad, and I can't really see the little numbers on the dial thermometer all that well... Ah well, the way-too-thin results made pretty good pudding once corn starch was added. For Take Two, I found a post on the manufacturer's blog that gave very precise instructions for making vegan yogurt in the Instant Pot. I used a digital thermometer (nice big read-out), and carefully heated the milk on the stove in a pan rather than using the automated "boil" setting. Aside from those details, I followed the blog post precisely. The result was, at first, almost solid. Not like yogurt at all, just one big lump. I thought I'd messed up again, but went ahead with the rest of the process, anyway. Refrigerated overnight, "whey" separated out (is it technically "whey" if you use oat milk?). I recall reading somewhere that if your yogurt turns out lumpy or separates in the fridge, just toss it in the blender for a few whirls. I did so. OMG. Smooth, creamy, mild, delicious. It's the best yogurt I've ever had. It's perfect as-is--so tasty that it really doesn't even need flavoring or sweeteners. I will absolutely be buying refills on the starter culture and pectin. This is my go-to yogurt from now on, no more worries about the sugar content in commercial brands. If you are looking for a plant-based home-made yogurt, I think you will be as happy as I am with Cultures for Health.
Review: Worked wonderfully with home made almond milk - A great kit; as a complete novice yogurt maker I appreciated getting everything I needed at once. I did not invest in a yogurt maker but used a rice cooker to incubate one batch with fabulous results, and just a warm oven and jars wrapped in towels also with great results. I have only tried with my own home made almond milk and I am so grateful to have a way to produce sugar free dairy free yogurt that is actually delicious. If you're looking for a low cost way to bring vegan yogurt back into your life this kit does the trick.

## Features

- INCLUDES: Our direct-set vegan yogurt starter culture (4 packets), Pomona's Pectin (1 box), a pocket test thermometer, and a cotton nut milk bag, as well as detailed step-by-step instructions.
- VEGAN: Make your own plant based yogurt from your favorite non dairy milk! Soy milk is the only kind that will naturally thicken without pectin, but you can also make delicious yogurt drinks from almond milk, oat milk, or whatever you like.
- HEALTH BENEFITS: Yogurt contains probiotics for digestive health, and vegan yogurt contains just as many probiotics as dairy based yogurts. It's also a great source of vegan protein!
- COST EFFECTIVE: With this yogurt culture starter you can make up to 4 gallons of non dairy yogurt, effectively spending less than half what you'd pay for store-bought ready-made vegan yogurts, including cost of milk you'll use!
- SAFE: Each batch is pathogen tested by a trusted third-party laboratory so you know you are getting a high quality, healthy starter to make delicious live culture yogurt at home.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need a yogurt maker for this starter?**
A: While this is a thermophilic starter, meaning it cultures at 105-112°F, this can be accomplished using other appliances, such as a food dehydrator, folding proofer, crockpot, thermos, pilot light or oven light, or insulated cooler with heating pad.

**Q: Will my vegan yogurt be a similar consistency to dairy yogurt?**
A: Soy milk is the only kind that will thicken naturally, but you can add pectin or gelatin to any non-dairy milk to help it along. You should also keep in mind that plant-based yogurt often doesn't set until chilled.

**Q: How much yogurt can I make with this starter?**
A: It comes with 4 packets of starter, each of which can culture up to a half gallon of milk; you can also use 2 packets at a time to culture up to 4 gallons. Thus, you can culture a maximum of 8 gallons of milk total, resulting in ~4 gallons of yogurt.

**Q: Can I use store-bought non-dairy milk to make vegan yogurt?**
A: In general, yes; however, additives and preservatives can interfere with the culturing process. We particularly don't recommend using commercial almond milk. The best way to ensure you have natural milk is to make your own—it's easier than you think.

**Q: Is it possible to make a dairy-free yogurt starter that's heirloom-style?**
A: Short answer: No...but there's a loophole. If you can tolerate a bit of dairy, you can maintain a dairy mother culture (such as our Heirloom Yogurt Starter), re-culturing it weekly, and simply use some of that batch to culture your plant-based milk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best yogurt ever
*by G***. on February 2, 2023*

Due to a change in my dietary needs, I have been looking for plain yogurt made with oat milk. I may as well have been hunting for the gold of the Aztecs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked wonderfully with home made almond milk
*by R***A on February 11, 2017*

A great kit; as a complete novice yogurt maker I appreciated getting everything I needed at once. I did not invest in a yogurt maker but used a rice cooker to incubate one batch with fabulous results, and just a warm oven and jars wrapped in towels also with great results. I have only tried with my own home made almond milk and I am so grateful to have a way to produce sugar free dairy free yogurt that is actually delicious.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Results were good
*by M***L on January 31, 2019*

Followed all directions completely and the yogurt turned out great. The only thing I will change is maybe letting it go 10 hours instead of 8 to get a more tangy yogurt. I first used the instapot as is without using containers and the results weren't good, second attempt I used jars inside the instapot and it turned out perfect.
