Milk
You can use any type of dairy or non-dairy milk to make yogurt.
Non-dairy yogurt can be made using soy, almond and other types
of milk. Soy yogurt can be made using a lile plain store-bought
soy yogurt as a starter.
HOW TO MAKE YOGURT
You only need two ingredients to make yogurt at home: any type of
Milk and Plain store-bought Yogurt (with live active cultures).
• Whole Milk
• 2% Milk
• 1% Milk
• Skim Milk
• Skim Plus®
• Soy Milk
• Almond Milk*
• Rice Milk*
• Coconut Milk*
YOGURT CULTURES
You don’t need any special powders or starter cultures to make
yogurt at home.
In fact, all you need to get started is a small amount of Plain,
unflavored store-bought yogurt with live active cultures, oen
called probiotics. If you like the taste of a particular brand of
yogurt, try using that yogurt as a starter.
For your next batch, you can use a bit of your last batch of yogurt
as a starter. Powdered yogurt cultures can also be purchased in
packets.
DAIRY NON-DAIRY
* Powdered non-dairy starter cultures may be needed to achieve fermentation

MAKING YOGURT
Once you start the Dash Go Yogurt Maker, you can leave the
probiotic cultures to do their work. Over the next 8-12 hours,
the cultures will be busy at work turning the milk into yogurt.
Remember to accurately time your yogurt recipe according to the
Yogurt Recipe Table. You may also want to use a smart-phone or
other device to remind you when your yogurt is ready.
REFRIGERATION
• Once your timer alarm sounds, it is time to unplug the
Dash Go Yogurt Maker, remove the storage container and
place it in the refrigerator.
• Remove the storage container lid. There may be some
yellowish liquid, whey, on top of the yogurt. This is normal.
Whey contains nutrients and protein. Mix it back into the
yogurt.
• We recommend refrigerating your yogurt for a minimum
of three hours before serving; however, you may keep your
yogurt in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR RECIPE
We encourage you to experiment with your yogurt – if you don’t
like your results the first time, don’t give up!
Try changing the yogurt that you are using for a starter, or the
length of time that you let the Yogurt Maker run.
And if you get stuck, consult our website at bydash.com or call our
Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-898-6970.

Cleaning & Care Basic Yogurt Recipe
CLEANING YOUR YOGURT MAKER
• Before cleaning your Dash Go Yogurt Maker, unplug the

immediately aer using.

welcome booklet
Basic Yogurt RecipeBasic Yogurt Recipe
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Double Boiler or
Glass Bowl & Saucepan
Thermometer
Whisk
INGREDIENTS  MILK & STARTER YOGURT
5 cups milk
½ cup Plain yogurt or 1 packet starter culture
TO START
Take the starter yogurt from the refrigerator so that it has time to
get closer to room temperature while you heat the milk.
HEAT THE MILK
To achieve the best results, heat the milk in a double boiler or in a
glass bowl on top of a saucepan of boiling water until the milk
reaches 185° F (this can also be done in the microwave, whisking the
milk aer every one minute increment). Do not boil the milk.
TEMPERATURE CHECK
Let the milk cool to about 100°–110°F before mixing in the yogurt or
starter culture packet. Do not let it cool below 90° F before adding
the starter.
MIX IT UP
Use a whisk to mix the starter yogurt or starter culture with the
milk until the consistency is smooth with no lumps remaining.
CHEF’S SHORTCUTS
The best way to heat the milk is in a double boiler, but heating your milk in
the microwave is a possible shortcut. Heat the milk in a glass bowl and make
sure to stir the milk aer each one minute increment.

A MATTER OF TASTE
The longer you let the yogurt cook, the more tart it will taste. The
cooking times listed below are only guidelines and can be adjusted
to account for your taste.
TIPS & TRICKS
• For the freshest taste add any fruit, jam, sweetener, or
flavoring right before serving.
• Adding powdered milk to your mix will produce a thicker
yogurt.
• Achieving a thick consistency with Almond milk may be
difficult without adding any additional ingredients.
Check our website & blog at www.bydash.com for more
information about making Yogurt with non-dairy milks.
• You can use ½ cup of your homemade yogurt (strained or
unstrained) as the starter yogurt for your next batch.
• The probiotics and live active cultures are strongest when
the yogurt is fresh. For the best results only use homemade
yogurt as a starter yogurt while it is fresh (no longer than 3
to 4 days in the refrigerator).
• We recommend only using the previous batch as a starter for
3-4 more batches.
• You can freeze homemade starter yogurt to prolong its
freshness—however, don’t freeze for longer than a few weeks.

Troubleshooting Your Yogurt Making Greek Yogurt
GREEK
YOGURT BASICS
The Yogurt Is Not The Correct
Consistency
• If the yogurt is grainy in texture
the milk was most likely heated
too much. Boiling the milk or
puing it over direct heat “cooks”
the milk proteins and may cause
the milk to become grainy or
curdled.
• The yogurt or starter culture may
have been added before the milk
was cooled to 100°–110° F, thus
killing the live and active cultures.
• The milk may not have been
heated to 185° F.
• The starter yogurt may not have
been fresh enough for the live and
active cultures to turn the milk
into yogurt.
• The starter yogurt needs to be
room temperature before mixing it
with the milk.
The Yogurt Has A Bad Taste
• The yogurt starter or culture may
be expired.
• The milk may be expired.
• Flavored yogurt may have been
used as a starter instead of plain
yogurt.
• The yogurt may have been le in
the Dash Yogurt Maker too long.
There Is A Liquid Collecting On The
Surface Of The Yogurt
• A lile whey is normal, mix it into
the yogurt or pour it off.
• The milk may have been over-
heated (scalded or boiled) causing
it to separate.
• The yogurt may have been mixed
while fermenting.

Making Greek Yogurt
GREEK YOGURT METHOD
If you prefer to make a thicker, creamier, strained (or Greek) yogurt,
take the following additional steps:
Step 1
Once your timer alarm sounds, unplug your Dash Go Yogurt
Maker.
Step 2
Remove the Storage Container from the Main Body.
Step 3
Place four layers of cheesecloth over a large bowl and secure it
with a rubber-band. Note: One typical piece of cheesecloth will
easily fold to create the aforementioned layers.
Step 4
Pour the yogurt from the Storage Container into the cheesecloth.
Step 5
Place the bowl into the refrigerator and allow the excess liquid (or
‘whey’) to strain through the cheesecloth into the large bowl for
two hours. Note: Straining time will determine the thickness of
your Greek yogurt. Strain according to your preference.
Making Greek Yogurt
Step 6
Remove the rubber band and li the cheesecloth out of the large
bowl and place the strained Greek yogurt into a sealed storage
container. You may discard the excess liquid (‘whey’), or use it to
add extra protein to bread, soup or smoothie recipes.
Step 7
Store your Greek yogurt in the refrigerator for an additional hour
to chill. Your Greek yogurt is ready to enjoy!

About Greek Yogurt
RECIPES
YOGURT EVERYDAY
ABOUT GREEK YOGURT
Greek Yogurt starts out the same as regular yogurt. Greek Yogurt is much
thicker than regular yogurt because the extra liquid (whey) has been
strained out.
The extra whey has additional protein and nutrients. It can be saved and
used as an addition in breads, soups, smoothies and shakes.
Many other countries have their own versions of strained yogurt. The French
have a similarly strained dairy product called fromage blanc. Icelandic
strained yogurt is called skyr.
Greek Yogurt is thicker because it has been strained.
Traditionally, yogurt is strained using cheesecloth.
