Recipe is the ...So, I purchased a new yogurt maker. Recipe is the same. Fairlife whole milk 24 ounces, Natural Bliss 8 ounces, 2 tbsp Chobani plain greek yogurt (fresh) an 3 tsp vanilla sweetener. The temperature is 108 (tested). Length of culture time is 10 hours. The new yogurt maker yielded the same results. Runny, not firm yogurt and whey along the sides and bottom of the cups. Very disappointed. I have done 6 batches since purchasing the new yogurt maker. Twice with the above recipe, (once at 10 hours, once at 12) one batch with more starter yogurt, one with less, one with different brand of starter, and the last with no creamer (all Fairlife). The end result is always the same. I went back to my old yogurt maker just to see if I am indeed crazy, and the results were the same. I am now convinced that the problem is the Fairlife. I wonder if they have changed something in their milk.

When your milk mixture has reached the 100°-110°F temp range, it will switch from preheating to Cooking. I'm not certain if it counts Up or Down, but the preset time is 8 hours (8:00).🙂Frieda Loves Breadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265482581165683185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272761941682835961.post-33307537093807782272022-03-27T12:41:54.690-07:002022-03-27T12:41:54.690-07:00Hi there, I’m hoping you can help me, please.

Use water, select yogurt setting, cover and wait an hour. Test the water with an accurate thermometer. It should be in the 100°-110°F range. If it's not keeping the temp in this range during the entire incubation cycle,it may be time to get another yogurt cooker.🙂Frieda Loves Breadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265482581165683185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272761941682835961.post-16506141646834652282022-02-28T09:16:36.843-07:002022-02-28T09:16:36.843-07:00I have been making my yogurt in a EuroCuisine yogu...I have been making my yogurt in a EuroCuisine yogurt maker for two years. I have been using 8 ounces of Natural Bliss sweet cream flavored creamer, 2 tbsp Chobani plain Greek yogurt, two teaspoon of Toranti vanilla syrup and 24 ounces of Fairlife Whole milk. I "cook" for 10 hours. For almost the entire time, my yogurt has been consistently thick, as Greek yogurt should be. However, here lately using the same recipe, the yogurt has been thin, and has a lot of whey accumulating along the sides and bottom of the containers. I would say about 1 teaspoon per 4.5 ounces of yogurt. I have tried adding several tbsp of powdered milk to the mix, but that only leaves the yogurt kind of gritty. What can I do? I don't know what has changed because I have not changed mt formula.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672613465484170026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272761941682835961.post-4165210217033812842022-02-13T12:45:02.749-07:002022-02-13T12:45:02.749-07:00What milk can I use that doesn't have the Lact...What milk can I use that doesn't have the Lactase enzyme or Vitamin D?
