Quick Question, Yakult as a yogurt starter?

merlin777

can you just use plain natural supermarket own-brand yogurt as a starter?

I use the cheapest plain live yogurt I can find as a starter. Then I save some from a batch to start the next lot - just a couple of tablespoons.

I keep this going until I go on holiday, am ill or something else stops yogurt making.

When the yogurt has cooled down, I put it in the fridge overnight and then strain it to make Greek yogurt.

The whey sometimes goes in a sourdough loaf or scones, but more often is tipped over plants.
