3. Pour Milk into 32oz/Quart wide mouth mason jar, leave some room at top

Hoff Thoughts: 

• Sterilize mason jar using microwave: wash jar, leave wet & a little water in the jar, microwave 1-2 minutes (until water boils)
• Timing: Start IP by 4:00pm to finish by 10:00am next day
• Your IP will never come up to pressure, the timer will start at zero & go up until the time set; that’s how you know it’s working
• Freeze some of the “Whey” to start your next batch of Yogurt (up to 2-3 times) instead of using Probiotics or starter
• Yogurt good up to 3 weeks
• Store Probiotics or Yogurt Starter in refrigerator
• Yogurt Starter can make up to 2 quarts or 8 cups of Milk into Yogurt
