I realize this community is probably dead but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to shout into the void if it is.

I enjoyed making my own yogurt in the past but got annoyed with babysitting my makeshift incubator consisting of a cooler and an electric blanket and stopped. Recently I took up yogurt making again but this time with mesophilic cultures. Being able to just leave batch of yogurt in a warm spot in the kitchen until it is set is just so handy. I’m also looking forward to trying some different cultures. I’ve got filmjölk and a viili cultures in the freezer for when I want to change things from the kefir simulate culture I’ve currently got active.

    Never thought to look for these! I’ve only made yogurt in the instant pot. Where’d you get the cultures?

      I bought them from here since I used them back in the day when I was doing the thermophilic culture thing and so I went back to them for the mesophilic cultures. It is part of why I’m doing a kefir simulate culture rather than grains as they don’t offer grains. If you look around online you’ll see other businesses offering mesophilic cultures as well.

        How does the taste change with different cultures? Do you prefer one over the other, or are they just different?
