So, I have a love-hate relationship with yogurts... I love the creaminess and twang they can give to a recipe, but I loathe the inherent butyric acid that is almost necessary to them. I've been messing around with yogurts for a while now, and here are some of my brief notes on them.

CAP Creamy -- This one is nice for a mild creamy element in a recipe. I don't get much zing, and the butyric acid is somewhat present

CAP Greek -- This one is a bit more of a dense yogurt than the creamy, and has more of a butyric bite to it. Still not much zing to it.

FW Yogurt -- This one is kind of like a sweet vanilla yogurt, like the yoplait kind. I can see why it's touted as one of the better yogurts, since it doesn't have much zing, the butyric bite is cut down by the sweetness/vanilla notes, and it's nice and creamy

FA Yogurt -- This has quickly become one of my favorites even though I think a lot of people dislike it. It's got that very distinct twang that I look for when I think "yogurt," and I think much more so than all the ones I've tried thus far. It does have a bit of a strong butyric bite, so you'll want to use it low and compliment it either with other creams or fruits/flavors that can stand up to it.

FLV Greek Yogurt -- This one seems promising, but I haven't actually tasted it yet. I have a tester sitting at home that I will try to give a taste to tonight. It smells very heavy on the butyric and I don't sense much of a zing, although it does seem quite thick/creamy
Edit: I don't get as much butyric note as I would have expected from the odor. Does actually have a nice twang to it, but not as much as I'd like for the amount of butyric note that is present. Very creamy and dense, much more so than other yogurts I've tried. I could see this working well in a lot of yogurt bases, probably why it's highly revered. I do still think it needs some help in other areas, such as twang and something to soothe you from the butyric notes.

TFA Greek -- I also still need to test this one. The aroma is reminscent of FLV Greek, but seems like it might not have as much body. I will try to test this tonight to provide some notes on.

Those are all the ones I have; I think I got all the ones I could from BCF, but I'm not sure if I'm missing any or not. The journey for a good yogurt has been a long and arduous one, a quest I don't care to take again.

I used to like the combo of CAP Creamy and CAP Greek, but they are both rather disappointing to me, and I didn't feel I was getting much actual flavor from them, just some creaminess and butyric note.

So far I've really been liking the combo of FW and FA Yogurts, since you get some of the sweet creaminess from FW and that super twang I want from FA. Last iteration I was at 0.75% FA and 2% FW; it seems to be in a pretty good spot, but the butyric was a little high (for me) so I may knock the FA down to 0.5%.

If anyone wants to tell me which yogurts I'm missing, I will begrudgingly test them out and provide my notes on them =)

I'm going to punch you in the fucking head, man.

First mango, now yogurt? You ain't making it easy for me to talk about these on the show hahaha.

Either way, still love ya, babe <3

I don't have ton of experience with yogurt but I have tried CAP Creamy Yogurt and TFA Greek Yogurt.

CAP Creamy Yogurt - Pretty good but after a long steep I get a weird off taste. Almost a dirt taste. Fairly creamy by its self but not my cup of tea.

TFA Greek Yogurt - This one is a lot better IMHO. Nice and creamy with a decently thick mouth feel. It's kinda tart but not in a bad way. Might be good in low percentages in a bakery mix (like a cheese danish). But I have only used it in a yogurt mix (my attempt to clone Kiberry)

I just got FA Yogurt but haven't tried it yet. It smells kinda cheesy. Might be good mixing TFA Greek Yogurt with it to get a fuller Yogurt flavor. I will have to try that this week.

Recipe: Kiberry failed clone ( But tasty still)

4% Greek Yogurt - TFA

4% Strawberry (Ripe) - TFA

2% Kiwi - FA

3 Drops Ethyl Maltol per 10mls

Simple but good. Adding some more creams would probably make it a lot better.

Edit: missing ingredient lol

a sweet, tart yogurt with sliced apples sprinkled with cinnamon.

Apple-Cinnamon Yogurt

Vendor | Flavor | % ---|---|---- FLV | Greek Yogurt | 3.75 FA | Fuji Apple | 1.5 TFA | Apple | 1 FA | Cinnamon Ceylon | .7 FA | Pear | 0.5

STEEP TIME: 3 Days Minimum, 1 Week Recommended

BEST AT: <50W, this is a yogurt, no one wants to taste hot yogurt.

FLV Greek Yogurt: This is the perfect standalone yogurt, ranging from 0.75% to impart a tart dairy note up to 4.5% for a sour yogurt. Starting at 5% the sour notes start to turn it into what I assume TFA Cheesecake tastes like. At a little under 4% it creates a thick dairy cream with tart and sour notes resembling a sweet Greek Yogurt, very true to name.

FA Fuji Apple: If you haven't tried this flavor yet, although I assume everyone on reddit has, it is one of the most perfect apple flavorings available. No off notes, just a sweet, juicy apple. At 1.5% it creates the flesh of the apple and lies nicely in the background behind the yogurt.

TFA Apple/FA Pear: These two flavorings change the whole mix from apple yogurt to yogurt with apple. TFA Apple resembles a sour, green apple with mild sweetness and a somewhat off-putting apple skin note in any quantity used. The "skin" note distinguishes the apple from the yogurt and adds a bit extra tartness that you would want in a yogurt. FA Pear is for sweetening the entire mix, bolstering the apple flavor, and makes the yogurt even creamier providing a thicker blend. An incredible flavor that should be in every mixers arsenal.

FA Cinnamon Ceylon: This was originally not my first choice of cinnamon. CAP CDS, TFA Cinnamon Sugar Cookie, FLV Cinnamon Crunch, TFA/FA Apple Pie, and CAP Graham Cracker were all contenders but added a bready flavor that does not work well with yogurt. Cinnamon Ceylon resembles ground cinnamon that would be applied to baking. At under 1% it provides a just a small hint that transforms the mix into a complex blend of fruit, yogurt, and spice.

Substitutions: Only thing that could be subbed is possibly the Cinnamon Ceylon for FLV Rich Cinnamon at a much lower %, although that is based only on the descriptions I have heard of it. This is a very light cinnamon taste so use a light hand if using a different brand.

IMO, FA Yoghurt is probably the superior yogurt if you don't mind diacetyl. FW's version tastes like candle wax, CAPs version has an odd aftertaste. And TFA Greek yogurt is way too funky smelling.

Yogurt was the first profile I ever worked with. I tried to clone Hi Chew by The Gurtz which was a mixed fruit yogurt and honey juice, delicious. One thing I always do now with yogurt is add a touch of flv milk & honey, it sweetens it up nicely.

I really love mixing FLV Greek at 4% with some French vanilla TFA, Cream FLV, and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream CaP. If anyone wants my yogurt base, feel free to PM me.

While we're on the topic of yogurt, I think another worthy additive to mention is FA Oba Oba. It adds a silky vanilla note to yogurts and some mouth feel.

Oh, this is a fun one! Don't listen to /u/MatthewKocanda Idiot.

FLV Greek Yogurt is a nice blend of creamy and greek yogurt. Not too tangy, not too sweet. Just right. Great stand alone mixed with some fruit.

FA yogurt has the most traditional yogurt flavor. Decent amount of tang with sweetness included. Doesn't have the slightly bitter flavor like most greek yogurts do.

FW yogurt is probably the most bland yogurt, which can be a huge positive if you just want a hint of yogurt. There's nothing over powering in this flavor, but still reminiscent with an ever so slight amount of tang, yogurt flavor, with no bitterness or off flavors

TFA greek yogurt is pretty much just vinegar.
