Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Thermometer
  • Yogurt Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Gal Milk Raw
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk Greek Yogurt Full Fat with Live Cultures (or starter)

Instructions
 

  • Use a clean stainless steel insert of the instant pot & clean sealing ring.
  • Pour the gallon of milk into the silver liner.
  • While constantly stirring have the instant pot on sauté mode and bring to 210℉
  • Once this temperature is reached remove the Stainless Steel Insert and let the milk cool to 110℉ (you can place the insert in the sink and pour ice all around it-- this is what I do and it typically cuts down the time drastically)
  • Once you reach 110℉ place the insert back in the instant pot and stir in the full fat yogurt/start
  • Place the lid on the instant pot and press the yogurt button (I typically change the time frame in the yogurt button, our families sweet spot is about 20hrs)
  • When the time is up, remove the lid, give it a nice stir, then transfer to greek yogurt strainers and let it sit for about 24hrs to set and have the whey separated.

Notes

I have a few variations of recipes I have used with different temps and times and all have turned out great- at some point I'll add the others to this blog as well!
