28 minutes ago, Porthos said:Do your ever drain your home-made yogurt to make Greek yogurt? I have a hankering for the tsatsiki my DW makes and am thinking that fresh, home-made yogurt would be at least a notch up from draining store-bought yogurt. I have never attempted home-made yogurt and will most likely use my Anova to maintain the temperature if I do try making my own.
I always drain it. The bottom picture in the collage above is of the yogurt draining in my Euro Cuisine Greek Yogurt strainer, recommended by @kayb (and others). I tried cheesecloth in a colander at first, but find the very fine mesh in this strainer to be more effective than cheesecloth and easier to clean.
When I remember, I use the whey to make bread. I can't tell that it makes a difference in the bread quality, but it feels less wasteful. 
eta I'll post a better photo of the draining process if it seems useful.
