Used to make our own a few years ago, from what I remember, it was just a case of throwing the ingredients into a yoghurt maker and then leaving it to do its stuff overnight and for 3 days (I think); definitely a different flavour, but getting only 6 small pots from it did seem to make it kinda long-wided process...'cos it would only last 3 days at most, but worth it at the same time. Since I make bread, I tend not to make a lot of other stuff, and college needs a certain amount of my time too, so it's a case of some things just had to give, at least for a while. I know that you can use a starter batch of yoghurt, from a store bought yoghurt, and then use some (1 tablespoon, I think) of the made batch to continue the process.
I sometimes wonder if there is an easier way to make yoghurt, after all rice pudding can be made by placing rice (uncooked) and boiling milk into a thermos, and leaving for several hours to do it itself; never tried it though, as rice pudding is not one of my favourites.
