FAIL!

I finally tried the crock pot yogurt yesterday and guess what...it utterly failed. 
 
After 14 hours I was left with a crockpot full of milk.  Usually when something bombs this badly I get discouraged and don't return to the project for a long time.  But I'm determined to give this another try.  I followed the recipe exactly, so I don't think it was human error on my part.  My intuition tells me the problem was that the milk wasn't warm enough for the 8 hours after the yogurt starter was stirred in.  This time, instead of swaddling the crockpot with a blanket as the original recipe states, I'm going to switch the crockpot to the Warm setting to see if that will set the yogurt. 
See you in 14 hours...

  2. Good for you, Sue! "No venture, no gain" my Dad would always say. Yogurt is more like a chemistry experiment than most of our culinary attempts.Can't wait to hear about next batch. <3
