Avoid moving the Yoghurt Maker during the incubation period. Do not stir yogurt during or at
the end of incubation to avoid the yoghurt curdling.
Step 6 -
At the end of the selected incubation time, remove the lids and check that the yoghurt has
thickened and set. If the yoghurt requires more thickening, replace the lids and set the digital timer
to required additional incubation time. When the yoghurt has thickened sufficiently, switch the power
off at the outlet and unplug the power cord. Remove the yoghurt container and lid from the housing.
Place the yoghurt into the refrigerator overnight to achieve firmly set yoghurt.

½ cup/125ml natural goat’s milk yoghurt
½ cup/150g goat’s milk powder (if not available
increase goat’s milk yoghurt to ¾ cup)
1. Heat the milk to just below boiling point (90-95ºC) then cool quickly to 40-45ºC. Use a sterilised
kitchen thermometer to monitor temperature of the milk when heating and cooling.
2. Stir in yoghurt and milk powder until combined. Do not aerate.
The life span of the yoghurt will vary depending on the ingredients used and the length of
incubation time. Yoghurt should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days.
Yoghurt can also be made by following above method and omitting the starter yoghurt and milk

3. Pour yoghurt mixture into the yoghurt jars and screw on lids. Place the yoghurt jars into the
Yoghurt Maker housing and cover with the outer Yoghurt Maker lid.
4. Press the + / - to set desired incubation time. Generally between 8 – 10 hours is sufficient to create
thick creamy yoghurt. However, you can set the timer up to 19 hours. The longer you incubate the
yoghurt mixture, the thick and richer the yoghurt will become. You will need to experiment with the
incubation time to get the consistency you desire.
6. Remove the outer lid and the yoghurt jars. Remove the yoghurt jar lids and check the texture of the
yoghurt. Do not stir the yoghurt. If set to desired thickness, switch the Yoghurt Maker off, replace the
yoghurt jar lids and place yoghurt jars into the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
TIP
- Leave enough of the yoghurt you have made to use as a starter when making your next
yoghurt mixture.
5. When the Yoghurt Maker has completed incubation time, switch it off at the power outlet.
