Suggestions of product (starter) and process deeply apreciated! Wed Mar 21 22:27:50 -0700 2007 14341 OCEllen 1 2409767 Yes-I used to do it regularly. A bit of an acquired taste and on the pricey side. Wed Mar 21 22:47:52 -0700 2007 2409742 10785 Sam Salmon 1 2411930 I've never made it but I did buy some goat milk yogurt at Whole Foods. It has a whole different taste which took me a while to get used to.

I've drained yogurt to make "cheese" balls and that took an overnight draining. I think less time would give you a good thick yogurt consistency.

Two things I have had success trying are powdered goat milk and agar agar. As for a starter I use either a freeze dried starter (WF or online) or leftover yogurt from the previous week if we can remember to save any! Sat Jul 26 09:22:55 -0700 2008 2409742 213302 jdrum
