Vegan Non-Dairy Yogurt Starter (15 gal) - Culture Up to 15 gal of Dairy-Free Milk

I've made 10 batches of vegan yogurt with this and it has worked fine every time. Here's what I did:Soak 3 cups of unsalted raw cashews in water overnightDrain cashews and add to blender, along with...2 1/4 cups water1 tbsp. white vingegarpinch of sea saltIf you're working with chlorinated water, boil it for ~5 minutes to evaporate the chlorine.You can pour the boiled water over cashews to soak, no need to cool it.Set aside another 2 1/4 cups water to cool to room temperature overnight.Blend until smooth and creamy.This thing will demolish the cashews in no time whatsoever:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0758JHZM3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Add 3/32 tsp of yogurt starter to blenderThese are helpful for that:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091SW8BD5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1Blend yogurt starter into cream on low speedFill jars from this thing:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EX16RY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1Turn on and leave jars in that for 11 hoursPlace jars in refrigerator and leave overnight.Decent price on raw cashews:https://www.amazon.com/SunBest-Natural-Unsalted-Unroasted-Resealable/dp/B01N677K8E?pd_rd_w=ru81d&content-id=amzn1.sym.0c0e3277-1675-489c-a566-ea075b32087a&pf_rd_p=0c0e3277-1675-489c-a566-ea075b32087a&pf_rd_r=XAFGA5G33WE5QNJ2C7DY&pd_rd_wg=TstuF&pd_rd_r=5888b0aa-8869-4222-9004-deec40e0a638&pd_rd_i=B01N677K8E&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_d_rpt_ba_s_1_t

We've been making our own almond yogurt from home-made almond milk for a few months now, and this set up beautifully after about 16 hours incubation and after that overnight in the fridge. Really pleased with the starter. Would recommend buying a set of micro/mini measuring spoons to use as I needed a much smaller amount for the 4 cups of yogurt we usually make each time.

This is extremely strong. The best vegan starter i’ve found!

States this little container will make 15 gal. of yogurt, but not true. This little container only makes 2 quarts of yogurt. There is not enough culture in this container to make 15 gal. False

I tracked how many batches of yogurt I was able to make using this, using 1/8 tsp of starter and 32 oz of westsoy or edensoy soy milk (I once used a cheap soymilk brand and it also worked). Worked perfect each time and I think tastes even better then the expensive starter I was buying before! I was able to make 9 batches. BUT the last batch there wasn't enough starter left to use a full 1/8 tsp so I used closer to 1/16 and it still worked perfectly!! Next time I will use 1/16 from the very beginning so that it goes twice as far.So you can get 8 to 16 quarts of yogurt with this, and there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon. So, 2 to 4 gallons of yogurt.Update: It has now been almost 6 months since I wrote this review and ordered more, I switched to using the 1/16 tsp amount and it worked perfectly! Didn't fail a single batch. I have made yogurt 3 or 4 times a month and it is just now almost gone.

Extremely small.

I received this product today (3/20/24) and it's marked with an expiration date of 6/1/24. These are live, active cultures, but be aware of the short use timeframe if you purchase this item. I've got my first batch going, I'll update with results.

I have now made two batches of vegan yogurt using Eden Soy Milk (high protein) and 1/16 tsp of this culture. Both came out with a pleasant tartness and yogurt firmness. I filter off the excess water and make soy sour cream from this.On my next batch i'm going to see how it works with 1/32 tsp. I like the value of this culture but the label does not give any instructions and the packaging was not much help.
