3 yogurt maker temp questions

[Guest guest]

can someone tell me, what is the correct temperature of the water

inside the yogurt maker should be? I have both a yogourmet and a

salton.

Also, I was told by the salesperson of the yogourmet to cool the milk

to 90 degrees and then add the starter. I read Elaines' instructions

that say 77 degrees. My thermometer doesn't even go that low but I can

take a guess. Which temp is correct?

The only available space (and I mean that sincerely, very cramped

apartment) to put the yogurt maker for 24 hours is fairly close to the

window. I usually cover the machine with a kitchen towel to keep the

drafts off of it. Do you think this makes it too hot?
