Well, I found out the hard way my instant pot will only hold two tall jars and one short jar of yogurt, not two of eachβ¦
So necessity being the mother of desperate internet research, I found out you can make yogurt in a cooler!
It appears to have worked.
Went into a cooler full of water 120+ ish degrees, which eight hours later had cooled to a balmy 98.
It thickened up all right. Will find out what it tastes like soon, probably tomorrow.

i really admire this. i hope it goes well & tastes good tomorrow when you try it. if i reincarnate id like to like yogurt next time
if i get to pick. ive tried so hard & it's simply never worked out & im so into it conceptually.
This is how you recognize a Bitcoiner
I use my dehydrator as an incubation chamber. Holds temperature really well, and can be dialed in fairly precisely. And a two gallon container will fit inside, so I can make a lot of yogurt at once.
I used to use the cooler method. For more consistent results, fill it with as much hot water as you can. More thermal mass means it'll hold a steadier temperature. Wrapping the whole thing in a blanket helps, too.
