Vegan Non-Dairy Yogurt Starter (15 gal) - Culture Up to 15 gal of Dairy-Free Milk

I use room-temperature Edensoy and the InstantPot yogurt setting. I warm the mason jars in the microwave for 30 seconds before pouring in the blended culture with the soy milk. Ready in 8 hours. I then leave it at room temp. for 2 hours before refrigerating. Comes out perfect every time. I strain it in container for super thick greek style. It also works perfect with Trader Joe's Soy Beverage...both Edensoy and TJ's are just soybeans and water, no additives. Love this stuff. Vegan-delish and affordable.

I've made 10 batches of vegan yogurt with this and it has worked fine every time. Here's what I did:Soak 3 cups of unsalted raw cashews in water overnightDrain cashews and add to blender, along with...2 1/4 cups water1 tbsp. white vingegarpinch of sea saltIf you're working with chlorinated water, boil it for ~5 minutes to evaporate the chlorine.You can pour the boiled water over cashews to soak, no need to cool it.Set aside another 2 1/4 cups water to cool to room temperature overnight.Blend until smooth and creamy.This thing will demolish the cashews in no time whatsoever:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0758JHZM3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Add 3/32 tsp of yogurt starter to blenderThese are helpful for that:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091SW8BD5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1Blend yogurt starter into cream on low speedFill jars from this thing:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EX16RY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1Turn on and leave jars in that for 11 hoursPlace jars in refrigerator and leave overnight.Decent price on raw cashews:https://www.amazon.com/SunBest-Natural-Unsalted-Unroasted-Resealable/dp/B01N677K8E?pd_rd_w=ru81d&content-id=amzn1.sym.0c0e3277-1675-489c-a566-ea075b32087a&pf_rd_p=0c0e3277-1675-489c-a566-ea075b32087a&pf_rd_r=XAFGA5G33WE5QNJ2C7DY&pd_rd_wg=TstuF&pd_rd_r=5888b0aa-8869-4222-9004-deec40e0a638&pd_rd_i=B01N677K8E&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_d_rpt_ba_s_1_t

I have now made two batches of vegan yogurt using Eden Soy Milk (high protein) and 1/16 tsp of this culture. Both came out with a pleasant tartness and yogurt firmness. I filter off the excess water and make soy sour cream from this.On my next batch i'm going to see how it works with 1/32 tsp. I like the value of this culture but the label does not give any instructions and the packaging was not much help.

I had great results with Westsoy organic plain soy milk. I could not find unsweetened so it had sugar in it. I bought some micro measuring spoons and used 1/32 tbsp for a quart of soy milk. I'd never made yogurt before so I bought a yogurt thermometer, checked it calibrating in boiling water and devise a system to incubate my yogurt jars. I'm using a heating pad with a flat steel tray on top of it topped with a cardboard box lined with foam. If I put a jar of water in there at 110 degrees the setup will maintain very close to that temperature and never exceeds it. The yogurt thickened up beautifully and developed a tart flavor in about 6 hours. It's not as thick as dairy yogurt but I'm not hung up on comparisons. Soy yogurt can be thickened by adding agar, something like tapioca starch, or soy protein isolate if you're looking for a thicker texture.I had some trepidation but I'm pleased at how easy it was to make the yogurt. Reading reviews of yogurt makers it seemed to me a lot of them have reports of getting too hot when measured with a thermometer, or having hot spots.

States this little container will make 15 gal. of yogurt, but not true. This little container only makes 2 quarts of yogurt. There is not enough culture in this container to make 15 gal. False

We've been making our own almond yogurt from home-made almond milk for a few months now, and this set up beautifully after about 16 hours incubation and after that overnight in the fridge. Really pleased with the starter. Would recommend buying a set of micro/mini measuring spoons to use as I needed a much smaller amount for the 4 cups of yogurt we usually make each time.

Extremely small.

My review is not for the starter itself but for the quantity you receive from this company. Very little comes in the bottle. I understand “a little goes a long way” but come on, really? I won’t purchase again. The yogurt starter comes in a container the size of a small baby aspirin bottle. The label claims the contents makes up to 15 gallons of vegan yogurt but for what you get for the price it’s just way too expensive for me. I will not be buying this yogurt starter in the future. I’ll spend my money elsewhere. There are several other reputable vegan yogurt starters out there that give you way more bang for your buck.
