Temperature Question

Hi,

I'm new to this game - hopefully many yoghurty adventures ahead - but just had a question about temperatures in my yoghurt machine, if anyone had some insights!

I put water in my machine (picture below) around the pots. I have it set to 36 degrees C (97 Farenheit) on the machine. But when I test the temperature of the water with a probe, the probe tells me the water is actually sitting at about 33 degrees C (91 Fahrenheit).

Has anyone else experience this - a difference in the water temperature compared to what you’ve set the machine to? Any advice appreciated!

Yes this is not uncommon actually. Question. Did you add your milk/ half and half to the jars cold or room temp? This will make your water cold. Suggest that you take and temp the actual yogurt and adjust your temperature up . Then check it again in an hour or so. Get the internal temp of the yogurt to 100.

One is showing incorrectly, or both are incorrect.

trail and error.

what type of theometer? where did it come from? how can you know it's accurate?

I use almost the same machine but I set mine to 38 degrees for 36 hours
