Operating Instructions
• With a spoon, remove the top surface of the yogurt and discard it before adding
the remaining yogurt to your milk.
• With a spoon, thoroughly mix 6 oz of active yogurt with 1 liter of milk until
yogurt is completely dissolved into milk. Be careful not to whip the milk as you
would do when whipping cream.
• For best results, do not use homemade yogurt for more than 5 consecutive
'generations' because the active cultures in each successive batch will diminish
over time.
NOTE:
When using yogurt to activate your milk, DO NOT USE:
• expired yogurt
• expired or bad quality milk
• flavored yogurt, or yogurt with other ingredients in it
• liquid yogurt
Making Yogurt
1.
Clean the jars or yogurt container with warm water and a mild detergent.
2.
In a large container, activate approximately 1 liter of milk using one of the methods
above.
3.
Pour the activated milk in the provided jars or another container of your choice.
DO NOT ATTACH LIDS.
4.
Place the jars, without the lids, into the yogurt maker. If using the included glass
jars, use the regular cover. If using larger containers from home, use the tall cover.
5.
Plug the machine in. Yolife will take approximately 8-12 hours to make yogurt in the
included glass jars, depending on the type of milk used and its temperature. Colder
milk takes longer to turn into yogurt. Note the time and count 8-12 hours ahead
and turn the time indicator on the cover to show the time your yogurt will be ready.
Yolife may take up to 15-18 hours to make yogurt in larger containers from home,
depending on the size of the container and the temperature of the activated milk.
6.
After the set time as elapsed, unplug Yolife, remove the cover, and check to see if
the yogurt has reached the desired consistency. If it is not done, re-attach the cover
and plug Yolife in for another few hours or until the desired consistency is reached.
NOTE:
When removing the lid, be careful not to allow any condensed water that has
collected on the cover to fall into the jars of yogurt.
7.
Attach lids to jars and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
NOTE:
Do not store your yogurt in the refrigerator for more than 7 days!
