I make mine in the crockpot. I use Stonyfield Farms Organic WHOLE plain yogurt, with Homestead Creamery WHOLE milk (not creamline). If I use those two together, I get nice thick yogurt. I have tried using plain fat free yogurt or ultra pasteurized whole milk and it wont turn out. It will be only slightly thicker than milk.
I put half gallon of HC milk in crock pot on low for 2 1/2 hours, with lid on. After 2 1/2 hours, turn off and leave covered for 3 hours. After 3 hours, whisk in one cup of whole plain yogurt. Put lid on, cover with a thick towel and leave overnight at least 8 hours. I usually leave mine about 10 hours. I love it
