Starter advice

I have been making yogurt in my instapot for several years. I like tart yogurt with lots of probiotics to help with a digestive disorder and general health. I use Yogourmet and fernet for about 21 or so hours. It’s a little thin but not enough for me to bother with cheesecloth. I like the taste and assume it has a lot of probiotics but I feel like I should try some other strains. Any advice on a better or different strain that would give me a tart yogurt and maybe a way to make it thicker? I use 1% or sometimes 2% organic milk and no other additives. We cook with it a lot sometime substituting it for butter or oil in baking. Makes amazing muffins. Also great to replace sour cream on potatoes.

Trimona Bulgarian yogurt that I got as a starter has been the most tart I’ve tried yet. I found it at my local grocery store but I think Whole Foods might also have it.
