My homemade yogurt is really runny… help!

Hi everyone! I’ve been getting on my feet and trying to find little exciting things to get me out of bed every day. Cue discovering on TikTok how easy it seems to make yogurt at home. I watched a few videos, couldn’t focus on anything else until I tried, and took a shot at it with what I had in my fridge. Spoiler alert it’s suuuuperrrr runny, like a yogurt drink or keifer consistency. It also is bubbling a little bit. 🫣

So here’s how I made it:

3L 2%milk (what I had left of a gallon)

One single serve container of fage 5% greek yogurt

Heated the milk to 180F on the stove

Cooled the milk to 100F in an ice bath

Added the container of yogurt and mixed well

Wrapped the pot w/ a lid in two towels and left it on the counter for roughly 18 hours

Put in the fridge for a few hours

Is my problem that I used too much milk? Did I cool it too much and it didn’t ferment well as a result? Plz help this ADHD girly realize her lifelong dream (discovered yesterday) of making yogurt at home!

TYIA for reading this post and taking time to respond! ❤️
