I would also check your temperature. If the temperature while the yogurt is culturing is too high, it can make the milk separate like that, which has happened to me before.

i tried your recipe, and ended up with more like curds and whey. i wonder if my milk was too old. i used a partial gallon that was a week soured and another partial that was 2wks gone about... mixed them together. does that sound like it might've been the problem? there was nothing i read here about the age of the soured milk. thnk you!

Just in case anyone is curious the upper temp for boiling is 180 any more than that and you scald your milk and the perfect cool down temp that Steph mentions she doesnt know is around 110. Just FYI!

An easy way to cut yourself some slack so you don't have to watch your milk and keep it from burning is to put the milk right into the jars and the jars in a pot of water. You cannot burn it! Put a washcloth underneath so the jars don't knock around and break in case you do forget and it gets boiling away. I hope you don't mind if I leave the link to my yogurt-making post here: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/04/13/monday-mission-homemade-yogurt-the-easy-way/ If people aren't as comfortable "winging it" I have the temps and such that they'll need! :)
