It is because I maintain a higher temperature than using your method. I heat to 180 degrees, then allow to cool to 120 degrees, add yogurt, stir, and put in sanitized gallon jars (have used quarts, also) and submerge in 120 degree water in an ice chest. It only takes 8-12 hours in the ice chest to get good firm yogurt. Yum! I use about 6 oz yogurt to 2 gallons of milk in making yogurt, and my yogurt does get pretty thick, like yoplait or thicker.

You can put a lid on it and set it on the porch if it is warm enough outside. Some people put it in the oven and just turn the oven on for a minute or two throughout the day. The lady who showed me how to do it put it in a heavy pot and wrapped it in a towel. There was enough heat in it to get it to turn, but that never worked for me.

In other words, we do have AC here in Georgia and we're getting to the time of year where sometimes we use it. Will leaving it on the kitchen counter work if the AC is on? What if I put it in the pantry or oven (not turned on) where it's slightly warmer? Probably what I really need to do is a yogurt experiment and find out! :) How warm does it need to be in the area where you set it aside?

I used to add a bit of honey when heating the milk so the whole batch was pre-sweetened... and ready for granola or fruit to add in. sooo YUM! if you live in a colder climate – and have a gas stove – the pilot light keeps the oven just the right temperature for this – and older fridges also emit just the right amount of heat for the yogurt to thicken if placed on top near the back.

My son has a total aversion to eating fruit , so I made it into smoothies for him and then he can't get enough of it! I also found some great <a href="http://smoothierecipes.tv/" rel="nofollow">smoothie recipe</a> here and thought I'd share - lots of other great ideas there. Thanks for that.

I stumbled upon this website and was ASTOUNDED at the research that has been done, what has been common knowledge among orthomolecular physicians for DECADES yet is unknown by virtually everyone else. Amazing things have been done by correcting B-vitamin deficiencies. This journal I'm linking is banned from the AMA library.... probably because its curing people all over without chemical meds! Anyway, I thought I'd pass the info on. You can search "children PICA treatment" and get some articles. Also look for "B3 dependent children". I pray this helps your son! http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/index.shtml .-= Alison´s last blog ..<a href="http://flhomesteader.blogspot.com/2010/07/dinner.html" rel="nofollow">dinner</a> =-. random comment with nothing to do with yogurt. i had just heard of using niacin to aid in many psycholigical issues (from the great documentary “Food Matters”) and started researching it for a friend who has a son with PICA and multiple other issues.
