    I let it 'cook' longer - more like seven or eight hours. Then overnight in the back of the refrigerator. The gelatin can be replaced by powdered milk for a creamier style. My end product is fairly thick, like soft serve ice cream. - 7/4/09

    I made this tw3ice and both times it turned out yogurt flavored milk. Not bad, just not yogurt. And yes I used the active culture type of yogurt. Maybe that was it. - 2/23/09

    Made this and loved it. Used 2% milk - trying nonfat next. Added Gelatin (1 package) to help thicken, it thickened even more first 24 hours in fridge. Tried cheesecloth instead of coffee filter, worked well. Very fresh taste. Had to hunt for non ultrapasturized milk. Used organic -better taste. - 3/16/10

    made the mistake of using ultra-pasteurized milk--- don't make my mistake- it won't thicken b/c the milk won't support the growth of the active yogurt cultures!!
    Just wanted to save someone else from the same mistake :) - 3/1/10

    It will take some extra tries and tweaking to find the flavor and thickening that I like. But well worth the effort! - 2/20/10

    if you are using skim or lowfat milk adding powdered milk is essential to thick yogurt. There is not enough casing skim/lowfat milk to thicken the culture. Also milk need only to be heated to body tempeture and held 12 to 24 hours I find dumping the mixture into a thermos overnight works fine - 1/12/10
