yoghurt not setting

hi
i've just had my first attempt at using the Easiyo yesterday

i put it on at 8am, and when i checked it yesterday (4.30pm) it was still really runny.
so i've left it overnight, and its STILL runny!

i used a litre of UHT milk, 3tbsp dried milk and a pot of Yeo valley live yoghurt

I've left the flask in the Easiyo,in the fridge. i'm hoping it'll thicken up a bit more, but is this normal? or where did i go wrong?

The yogurt bacteria need to be warm to multiply and thicken your yogurt. I have a yogurt maker that keeps the pots warm overnight on a small hotplate.

You say you've left yours in the fridge. It sounds as if yours is too cold, though as I don't use an Easiyo, I'm not fully sure.

if you are doing home made yoghurt in the easiyo as against using the sachets then i think you just need 1 tbsp of natural yoghurt not the whole pot

I'm having exactly the same problem with the Easiyo - really runny and tastes weak. I'm sticking mine through a strainer to see if that helps, but if not, I'm sure it will make good bread and pancakes.

thanx for your replies........i'm trying not to be disheartened, and have another go!! i'll use this batch to make yogurt drinks!!

i think i'll have another go using less live yogurt and a bit more dried milk powder......i'm not gonna let it beat me!!
