Meagan, here is a photo of the yoghurt in my thermosaver. I stirred it around a bit for you to see the thickness.  Nicest natural yoghurt I've tasted.  :)

Meagan, I'll take a photo of mine for you this afternoon, to give you an idea of it's thickness.  ;D

Thanks for those tips Caroline, I will freeze 1/4 cup straight off tomorrow so I know I've got the next one sorted.  :D

Yes I've got 2 thermoservers Judy, very handy. 

I think I may freeze some in portions as it is a lot to go through and I'm conscious of keeping it fresh.

Oh what a relief it worked.  ;D

  It worked!!!  I'm so chuffed, it's lovely and thick, so have now put in the fridge where I will leave until morning.

Obviously didn't like the no fat yoghurt, so at least any one else wondering will now know not to use.

Caroline, if making half amount, do you still use 1/4 cup of starter, or halve that too?  (I halved it last time, and now wondering if that was right?).

Julie.

There's an hour to go before the 5 hours are up!  I haven't sneaked a look in case opening the lid does something  :o  :D

Wish me luck!   :D ;D

I currently have a new lot sitting in the bowl waiting to reduce down to 37 degrees.  I bought the same yoghurt as Judy and full cream milk.  Also have done full amount this time (2 litres), just covering all the bases.  If it doesn't work this time, then it's obviously something I'm doing wrong, will post back tonight after the 5 hours are up.  :D

Judy, I have a pair of glasses in my handbag, but because I went out with just my purse, completely forgot.  Haven't been using glasses for very long and so quite often forget that I need to keep some on me just in case.  :-))

Thanks for the good wishes  girls! 

Well my second lot was a disaster too.  Still the same thinness as the first lot.  Has been thrown away and I will go back to the shops today (with my glasses) and have a proper look.

I hate it when something gets the better of me.  ???   One more try.  ;D

Chelsea, after the 5 hours it was like thin milk, no thickness what so ever. 

I nipped to the shops just after posting my last post and in my haste left without taking my reading glasses  :-))  when I got to Coles, I was looking for the blue rimmed container of Jalna and couldn't see it.  I'm sure I saw the one Judy is referring to above, but without my glasses I couldn't read if it was pot set or not  :-[  So went to Woolies and same thing.  >:(  Didn't want to ask anyone because I felt like a right idiot, so got some more milk and came home. 

Have now made another batch using the whole milk and I won't know until 11pm if it has worked or not.  If not will try one more time after getting the other yoghurt.  :-\

Mmm just tried two supermarkets and neither have the full fat Jalna  >:(  Mine is the no fat one not low fat as I first thought, oh boy, maybe I'll just do a litre again using whole milk and see how that goes.  :-\  At least if it doesn't turn out again I'll know it is the starter.  :-[

Thanks Thermomixer, maybe I'll buy the full fat starter too just to be on the safe side so I hopefully won't waste any more milk.  :)

I made the yoghurt this morning (1 litre) and left in a thermoserver for the 5 hours..  Have just checked it and it's still thin and runny  >:(  Obviously something I've done and I'm glad I only made half serve.  Used jalna low fat natural as the starter and a combo of full cream milk and reduced fat.

I wonder if it's because I put the heated milk in the fridge to cool down to the 37 degrees that caused the failure? 
Have left it to one side in the kitchen and will check it again later, but looks like I may have to throw this batch away and try again tomorrow.  ???
