you're in luck anon, because I had some fails and to get to the bottom of it to figure out what to do, and what not to do

first get some fresh milk, and some fresh plain whole natural yogurt, getting it natural and whole is better of course, but more importantly, make sure its all fresh, otherwise your bacteria culture may be ded

next, heat up the milk close to 85°c, its very close to a boil, but without actually boiling it, this will be hard to do with a thermometer, but make sure you do heat it up, because besides killing conflicting bacteria, it also alters the nutritional structure of the milk for better yogurt consumption, and don't bring to a full boil or you will end up with clots in it
next you need to let it cool down to 45°c, only then add in the yogurt starter, if its too hot you will kill it, if its too cold they will be slow to reproduce

so one key method I liked, is using a water bath method, put in a pan with milk inside another with water (don't use glass unless you're sure its safe to use), heat the whole thing, once the water comes to a boil, the milk inside it will be just some degrees below it, so you can turn it off and let it cool off
now it will take a heck of a longer time to cool that's because the water add a lot thermal mass to the system, but that's what we want later on, you will know its cooled to 45°c when you put your fingers in and not feel the need to take it out, it will feel hot but wont burn, the trick they say is if you manage to dip the finger for at least 5 seconds
after you're sure its cold enough, add in the yogurt culture and mix in, the ideal is keep it at 45°c for the whole duration of the fermentation, but not completely necessary, the water bath help by taking longer to cool off, but it also helps if you heat it up in regular intervals, since there is water between the heat and the milk its easier not to go overboard (now be very careful not to heat up too much, just half minute was enough for me)
