I tried Woolworth's homebrand soymilk this weekend, which is made with whole soy beans, and I got the thickest yogurt yet! We're talking smoothie thickness, with no extra thickeners.<BR/><BR/>Veggie--I haven't tried pectin but I should, and the reason I don't heat the soymilk is that my yogurt maker calls for cold yogurt-ingredients which are then placed in hot water.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-60336941318143858892008-08-04T09:57:00.000+10:002008-08-04T09:57:00.000+10:00I've made Bryanna's new yogurt and it had a wonder...I've made Bryanna's new yogurt and it had a wonderful consistency as well as taste. <BR/><BR/>http://www.bryannaclarkgrogan.com/page/page/1999382.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-74995629918330587892008-08-02T07:25:00.000+10:002008-08-02T07:25:00.000+10:00Have you tried adding some pectin powder (for thic...Have you tried adding some pectin powder (for thickening) also heating the soymilk to a certain temperature like in regular (dairy) yogurt making?<BR/><BR/>I nominated you for a blogging award; check out my blog for the details!Veggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348201244978560908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-29768464805346389922008-08-01T12:55:00.000+10:002008-08-01T12:55:00.000+10:00Cool- I've always wanted to make yogurt at home......Cool- I've always wanted to make yogurt at home...

I'm glad you're doing the experimenting because soy milk varies so much that it hurts to think about the variants of soy yogurt.

I've been making my own soya yoghurt for a few years, my first few batches were a bit thin too, you can just use bought soya yoghurt as a base, as long as it is the refrigerated stuff. I use a tablespoon or two in a litre of soya milk with no further additions. The other thing I read, which made a huge difference, is to use some of your homemade yoghurt as the base for the next batch, even though it seems to thin, each further batch comes out thicker, now my homemade yoghurt has the same consistency of commercial yoghurt. And th result varies a lot with different brands of soya milk. I strain my yoghurt to make soya yoghurt cheese and eat it on toast for breakfast. Hope this helps. :-)Sojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582607262568399412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-65788201875423776062008-07-30T03:45:00.000+10:002008-07-30T03:45:00.000+10:00I wish I had some yogurt tips for you!
