Do you just buy the cultures and put them in milk and let it set a while?
We'll be looking into it more, but I'm super glad you've mentioned it!!!! Now I have a cheese person :D

It's really easy after the first couple tries. I suggest starting small, but that's just me. You strike me as a person who likes to start big!
You need two or three tablespoons of good yogurt to start. Put that in the bottom of a one quart mason jar. Scald a little less than one quart of milk and let that cool to body temp, or between 90 and 100 degrees. Pour the cooled (but still warm) milk into the mason jar with the yogurt and mix it together. Cover the jar (I use wax paper) and put it in a warm place. I just put it in one of my upper cabinets that has a counter light underneath, right on top of the light. In cold weather I also wrap the jar with a towel. I hope I can find a picture of this and manage to put it here. leave it there for 12 to 24 hours, depending on taste. It gets thicker and tangier the longer you leave it, but too long and it turns kind of into cheese. It's still good though.
So the light is on under that cabinet, and the jar is directly over the light bub. Shut the door and forget about it for 24 hours. Let me know how it turns out. Might be a good way to keep some of the milk you have salvaged which may be contaminated after all the work you are doing to save it so scalding it (pasteurizing) would help redeem it. Whatever you do, don't buy a yogurt maker. They are a complete waste of money.
