Stoneyfield has this:

"Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Probiotic Yogurt, Plain, 32 oz.. Stonyfield Organic is making it easier and more delicious to up your probiotic intake – after all, having the right balance of bacteria in your gut is vital to maintaining good health. Treat yourself to a whole milk yogurt with billions of probiotics in each serving, and live and active cultures including S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus."

We use this as starter culture and culture a gallon of milk at a time split between 2 1/2 gallon containers with lids. (Once every one or two weeks.) I can usually get 3 batches on from a culture starter before I need to buy more.

Since its important to her encourage the Mrs. to learn to start making this and save some money! **Bring a gallon of milk to a simmer, about 15 min for me; Stir the bottom of the pot with a flat implement the last 6 or 7 min (To prevent it burning to the bottom of your pot!) Allow to cool, or cool in a water bath.

Once between 100 and 105 F, strain 2 cups of the milk through a fine mesh collender (To remove any congealed or burns amounts) into one of your containers; add 1-2 cups of Stoneyfield or other yoghurt starter: again using the collender, pour an additional amount in and stir again; divide the culture between your 2 containers, add additional heated milk until both are full and cover containers with the lid.

Culture in a warm space at about 85-90 degrees for about 10-12 hours. I do this in the oven with only the utility light on. (Do not accidentally turn it the oven on! Put a note on the oven if neccessary!) Once it has set up move to the refrigerator.
