Propagator yoghurt?

Ive got a propagator mat that I use for starting chilli seeds etc. I just wondered if anyone used theirs to make yoghurt? As it doesn’t have a temp setting, just on or off, I’m not sure if it would be too warm? I’ve never made yoghurt before but fancy having a go and the mat is half empty and on...😁

    Thanks pansyface. No flask here- only a kid sized one. Thermometer is in the post! I’m going to give the propagator mat a go- nothing to lose but some milk/starter!

    Yes, I’ve got the yoghurt and I’m adding some skimmed milk powder too as I like Greek style thick yoghurt and apparently this helps thicken.

    I made granola and soup today, rocket pesto from garden pickings for dinner and now yoghurt... I’ve come over all Barbara Good! 😂 I’ll be on the pea pod wine next!

    The yoghurt worked! A little too well as it’s very thick, but wonderful mild flavour. I left for 13 hours on the mat with a folded towel over the glass bowl and checked temp this morning it was 117, so worked perfectly! Will reduce the skimmed milk powder in the recipe for the next batch.

    I thought it was just me 😄 I too make my own kefir, sour kraut and I bake my own sourdough bread. I love the process of brad making - it’s so satisfying. Plus you know what’s in there (or better yet what is not) and it tastes fantastic. 
    And kefir is really good for healthy guts.
