Usage
The packs are packaged and labeled with the grams they contain and the volume those grams make when used entirely in one go.
The packs are intended for single use, or their contents could be split for multiple use (with the exception of the Sourdough starter which should always be used in one go).
When you split the pack, take out as much as you need to make your yogurt, then reseal and refreeze the remaining starter for later. Make sure you store the sachets in a way that prevents moisture from getting in, i.e. well closed in a Ziploc bag or wrapped around and fastened with a rubber band.
When you split the contents of the pack and use less starter amount to make smaller volumes, keep in mind that you are also reducing the total amount of yogurt that you can make from the pack (read more on that here). Refer to this page to see the gram to Liters (gallons) chart and to find out how much starter to use for different volumes of milk.
Help
Bacillus Bulgaricus starters are easy to use and are strong enough to make sure that the fermentation process completes naturally and smoothly, under the right conditions.

Dear Ivo
Following my email to you last week I can tell you that My first experiment with your culture was a huge success . I love the tart ness of my yoghurt and initially having a 150g serving I had no swelling or blocked nasal passages or sickness which has happened with other cultures. The aim is to slowly increase eating my homemade yoghurt in place of the raw goats 24 hour yoghurt I buy as if this became unavailable I would have no other means of nutrition and would have to rely on enteral nutrition via tube feeding.
Have a nice afternoon and know you have made me very happy.
Kindest regards Megan G.

I love your yoghurt though and would like to use the coupon next time, but it will probably be about a year from now as I ordered a very large amount last time. 😆

The yogurt is very good and it’s easy to make. Thank you!

I am doing fine. The packet makes 8 gallons worth of yogurt. I make mine about every 12 days so it will last me awhile. I also had yogurt starter that came with my machine that I had to use up. I like yours much better. Will be ordering soon.

Hello,
I’ve just bought some of your Bulgarian yogurt culture and I’m excited to get experimenting. I’m planning on starting a dairy/butter business next year in Australia, and I’m looking for good ways to utilise the skimmed milk that comes after separating the cream that I’ll use for making butter. My wife is Bulgarian and she loves Bulgarian yogurt, so if I can make this work it would be awesome.
I was hoping to make two yogurt products. One pot-set yogurt and one drinkable.
The pot yogurt I think should be fairly straight forward, however I was wondering if you have any experience making drinkable yogurt? For both yogurts I would like to keep the process as simple as possible and with the least amount of additives.
Hope you have a pleasant day,
