Making homemade yogurt, kefir and other fresh, cultured foods is both fun and easy. With just a little bit of time and effort, you can make delicious yogurt. By doing so, you get to enjoy a premium cultured, raw dairy product that is loaded with beneficial bacteria known as probiotics, enzymes, and quality protein. Raw dairy is much easier to digest than cooked, pasteurized dairy; they are like night and day. Please note: if you have been allergic to dairy products, you may be able to enjoy homemade raw milk yogurt, even though you cannot digest ordinary dairy products. Homemade yogurt is a superior option to even organic yogurt, because commercial yogurt is made from pasteurized, and likely homogenized, milk.
It is especially important to find new foods to enjoy when you are candida cleansing, as your food selections are restricted while your requirements for high quality, nutrient-dense foods are increased.
Please note: cleanliness is essential when culturing foods, as you want to be growing the right culture. Clean your kitchen or workspace from top to bottom before you make yogurt, kefir, or any cultured or fermented food.
Freshly-made yogurt has a shelf life of at least 3 weeks, so make as much as you think you can eat during this time frame.
Signs of over- or under-culturing:
Over-culturing: Streaks or lines in the yogurt will start to appear along the sides of the jar. Immediately refrigerate, which will stop the culture from continuing to grow. Next time, remove from heating pad sooner.
Under-culturing: The consistency is that of thick milk rather than nice, thick yogurt. Let it culture for up to 24 hours to achieve results.

Just wondering if after you make the initial batch, if you can use 3 T of this homemade yogurt as the starter for each batch thereafter, or will it lose some of its good bacteria for fermentation over time?
