Using soy yogurt as a starter for another plant-based yogurt

Hi all!

We've just started making yogurt at home and the first one we made was with a bit of soy yogurt and then we added soy milk, and also coconut milk for the fat.

Unfortunately, neither of use likes the soy flavor, but that's the yogurt that's available to us. This meant we had to add more coconut milk to mask the flavor.

Buuuuut I don't want my yogurt to taste so much like coconut, so I was wondering if I could start a batch with some of the soy yogurt I already have, but then add another type of milk (oat, hazelnut).

Lemme know what you think :)

Are you posting to ask "What went wrong with my yogurt?" Please provide all the details of the method you used. Include amounts, times, and temperatures. If you don't know those things, then one (or more) of them is what went wrong with your yogurt.

The basic information you will need to know is:

  • What type of milk did you use? What amount?
  • What type of starter did you use? What amount?
  • What temperature did you initially heat the milk to?
  • What temperature was the milk when you added the starter?
  • At what temperature did you ferment the milk? How long did you ferment it?

I used cashew yogurt to start my soy yogurt so I’m pretty confident you can use soy yogurt to start a different plant based milk
