Nutrimax yogurt starter did not work well
The instructions on the package say that the yogurt should set in 4 hours. I followed the directions carefully, but it took over 10 hours to set, and I ended up with a very thin yogurt. I have made yogurt before using store bought yogurt as a starter, and it always worked well. I had also tried the Eurocuisine starter and it also worked well, although I did not like it very much because the yogurt was a bit tart. This Nutrimax starter was quite disappointing.

High quality starter
I've been using this starter for more than an year now and it has never failed. It contains the two bacteria that I'm looking for: L. Bulgaricus and L. Thermophilus. I am from Bulgaria and yes, the first yogurt bacteria was found in my country thus the name. I use Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker x 4 with 1 gallon of Organic 1% or 2% milk, 1 cup of dry non-fat milk and 2 packets of this yogurt starter. After 6-7 hours - the perfect yogurt. Just make sure everything that the milk touches is clean, otherwise you will have to wait longer for the yogurt to set and it will have a stronger flavor.Highly recommended.2011 UPDATE:Just wanted to say that I'm still using this starter to make the best yogurt possible. For some time they were sending a yogurtment starter which was still pretty good, but my recent batch was from the original type they had which, I think, is a little better and makes a little creamier yogurt.Thumbs up!2013 UPDATE:Still using this! I've just switched to full fat milk and I take it to 212F/100C and wait for it to cool down again . I think it makes for better yogurt than just heating it up.Off to go make some strained yogurt and cucumber salad (Snejanka) (dill, garlic, olive oil and salt).

Didn't work
I got a yogurt maker and followed the instructions very carefully but it did not work :o(It was my first time so I didn't give one star but I'm confident I did exactly what I was supposed to.

Creamy, Great Tasting Yogurt
So far, this is my #1 pick for a yogurt culture. I've tried others, but this one doesn't take as long to make (5 1/2 hours in the yogurt incubator). The taste is creamy and smooth -- not at all tart.I make it using the following recipe for the Eurocuisine yogurt maker:- 5 TB Sanalac non-fat dry milk powder (this has a great flavor and is available at many supermarkets)- 4 TB sugar (less sugar if you don't like sweet yogurt)- 49 oz 2% milkNow that I make my own yogurt, I could never go back to store bought!Yogurt Starter Culture (10g) Makes 2 Litres (2.1Quarts) Brand: NutrimaxEuro Cuisine YM100 Automatic Yogurt Maker

Culture
This culture made the thickest and tastiest yogurt I've turned out so far. I use a Euro Cuisine electric yogurt maker and added powdered milk for thickness.
