## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use Amond or Almond milk?**
A: Depending on the yogurt starter you use to make your non-dairy yogurt, you should be able to use almond or any other non-dairy milk. Most yogurt starters, including Bacillus Bulgaricus, are strong enough for that purpose. Keep in mind that non-dairy milk would generally also require a thickening agent, such as agar-agar, simply because they do not have the milk fats that naturally thicken the yogurt. Also, for best results with non-dairy milks, always keep the yogurt in the fridge for a couple of hours after it had set and before you consume it.

**Q: Are there instructions on how to use with half gallon of ultra pasteurized milk in instant pot?**
A: Yes, just follow the directions on the package.  I make yogurt in my Instant Pot all the time.  I do 1 gallon at a time.  1 gallon equals 15 cups which equals 4.5 teaspoons of powdered starter.  I incubate it for 10.5 hrs after I add the starter.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Is it necessary to add powdered milk?  I usually do that when making greek yogurt with skim milk.**
A: I have used every grade of milk from skimmed 0% fat to whole milk. Nothing. No, not any combination, is as creamy, tangy, and delicious as whole milk. The Bulgarian yogurt starter makes amazing tart yogurt. Feed it well. Give it good material to work with and it will reward you handsomely. So, no it does not need powdered milk.

**Q: What is the CFU count after fermentation of 1 quart of non-dairy milk?**
A: You can expect 25 billion  CFU/g  (2.5 x 10^10 CFU/g)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legitimate classic Bulgarian yogurt starter
*by A***Z on January 9, 2026*

This is a good culture, all my batches were successful. Creamy dense texture, the smell is great and delicious flavor. Initially I followed instructions by weight, but after the second batch I measured by teaspoon fractions, but been rigorous with temperature’s control.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes Delicious Soy Yogurt
*by M***E on July 9, 2022*

This makes delicious soy yogurt that is thick, creamy, and with a consistency similar to Mexican flan. I found no need for added thickeners using soymilk (which has a higher protein content that most other non-dairy milks.) The company provides recipes for other non-dairy milks which I have not tried. (The recipe booklet was supposed to come with the starter but was missing in my order. I called the company and they promptly sent me the pdf.) Bulgarian yogurt is a thermophilic starter, which means it works better with warm milk. I simply heat the soymilk (I use TJ's organic, unsweetened, unfortified soymilk that contains only soybeans and water), cool it to the proper temperature, mix the powdered starter first in a cup of the warm soymilk, then add it to the rest of the soymilk. I pour it in a yogurt maker, let it incubate for six hours and viola, a thick, tasty non-dairy yogurt with live cultures. I found a yogurt maker for $4 at a thrift store. The company, however, provides instructions for making the yogurt without an electric yogurt maker. It uses a jar, a towel/blanket and an insulated box such as a microwave (not turned on, of course). This is a multi-use heirloom culture which means you can use some of the yogurt to start another batch. So long as you keep up with the yogurt-making so the yogurt you are using as a starter is fresh, you can make endless batches from a tiny amount of the initial culture powder. Store the starter powder in the freezer as a back-up and you won't need to buy more for a very long time. (The stated shelf-life for the package is two years.) When I was researching yogurt starters, I found most of the non-dairy yogurt starters were "direct set" starters meaning you had to use starter culture powder for each new batch of yogurt. This requires continually buying yogurt starter which can get expensive. I bought this Bacillus Bulgaricus yogurt starter seven months ago and have barely made a dent in the amount in the package. Most of the time, I just use some of the previous batch to make a new batch. I heartily recommend this yogurt starter and if I ever need more, I will buy it again.
