I took all the equipment I would be using and I boiled it to sanitize the material.
I decided to try for a small batch of yogurt, 3 cups to be exact, and poured this amount of milk into a pot and started it on the stove.
Once the milk came to a gentle boil, I shut off the heat, removed it from the stove and spooned a few tablespoons of it into a sanitized bowl. To the bowl, I added a couple of tablespoons of room temperature Fage yogurt that I bought from Publix. I waited until the boiled milk got to 115 degrees and added the milk/yogurt slurry.
Now the hardest part...I just had to cover, set some where warm and wait!
I set the yogurt on my computer to keep it warm...like I said, I'm not putting anything in that oven!
I checked it in the morning about 14 hours into the process and the milk had not set. I got a little worried but I let it sit some more and went to work. When I got back around 7:30 PM the milk had set beautifully! All that's left to do is to strain the yogurt overnight and turn it into Greek style yogurt.

Awesome ingenuity! I will try my hand at this too since I go through yogurt like there is no tomorrow. Making my own might just save me a little green :) Thanks for the idea!!
