 oh, that is sweet

yes! i love long brewed sour yoghurt

after nearly a decade living in the balkans, i have a taste for raw plain yoghurt too, i prefer it, when i taste sweet with my yogurt i'm like euww

gotta get a good rig for it, nice double water cooker, big capacity so i can brew up a week's supply

and a vacuum evaporator so i can thicken it up past 12% fat so it's basically sour cream, though both goat and sheep milk is pretty fatty all by itself, when it's over 10% though it's divine 
 The sous vide stick works great.  I just stick it in a large pot of water with jars of pre-yogurt (2+ Tbs of prebiotic, a couple tablespoons of yogurt or probiotic pills, and the milk/cream/half-and-half) and set the temperature and let it do its thing.  It works great and doesn't take up much room in the cabinet.

I like a tiny bit of sweet, but I agree normal store yogurt is way too sweet.
