  • Verify your starter yogurt contains live active cultures and is not expired.
  • Increase fermentation time (e.g., from 8 to 10-12 hours) for a thicker consistency.
  • Ensure the milk and starter were thoroughly mixed.
• Yogurt is too tart:
  • Reduce fermentation time. Shorter fermentation results in milder yogurt.

  • Sjekk om strømledningen er ordentlig koblet til en fungerende stikkontakt.
  • Ensure the 'Start' button has been pressed.
