No it doesn't - but the milk need to be sterile so there are no competitors for the bacteria which are in your starter. Normal milk isn't sterile, so you'd need to boil it for a protracted period.

In short: Use UHT - it's a lot easier.



That depends on a lot of factors. When you keep it in the fridge, it is still alive, and is still becoming "more yoghurty" like it was in the warm place, just much more slowly. Eventually it gets so yoghurty, that it develops little hard balls where the milk has completely solidified. This ruins the texture, but tend not to be that bad a taste.

That happened to me when I had it in the fridge for just over a fortnight. I wouldn't have dared leave a dead yoghurt that long though.



Just a spoon's worth of live yoghurt - you can eat the rest.

I know it might not be totally mse, but Lakeland sell an electric yog maker for just junder £20. Takes about 8 hours to make. They also have the easi_yo (on sale at the moment) for £6.84. I have the electric one and it is really easy to do.

I've used both jam and pur!e before. Jam adds sweetness as well as fruitiness. If you're used to "20 spoonfuls of sugar in every bite" yoghurt, you might find the raw stuff somewhat tart (depending on your starting culture).

Don't forget to stir though.

Just a caution - don't store it with the fruit added, add it just before you're going to eat it/pack it in a bag or whatever.
