Can I use Yomee to make homemade vegan yogurt?

Can Yomee make Kefir and Skyr?
Currently not, but it will just require a software update (not product version update), as making kefir and skyr is a similar enough a process as making yogurt. So we see this as a very possible extension of the Yomee features. Currently the Yomee software supports plain, Greek and stirred yogurt types

Does Yomee work with other yogurt cultures
At this time, Yomee is designed to work with Yomee pods to make only yogurt. The unique heating, cooling, chilling, and unique stirring action of Yomee requires uncultured milk and Yomee pods to create consistent yogurt results.

Can I use any brand of dairy milk or any brand of vegan milk?
For dairy yogurt, you can use any brand of dairy milk of milk available to you and either skim, 2%, or whole. For best results we recommend using only pasteurized, homogenized milk.
For soy yogurt and almond milk yogurt, we recommend using plain (unflavored) brands with a minimal amount of stabilizers and additives. Currently we use shelf-stable vegan milks (tetrapak) varieties in our pod tests and are doing further testing with refrigerated soy and almond milk brands.

How does a Yomee Pod work?
The Yomee pod contains the live active bacteria cultures that ferment fresh milk into yogurt. The sensors in your Yomee will drop the pods into the cup only after the milk has first been heated to 185F degrees and then cooled to 115F degrees. Once the pod is dropped into the milk, the stirring action of your Yomee will dissolve the pod into the milk and begin the yogurt culturing process.

How does Yomee make yogurt?
Yomee has been designed to take the guesswork out of making homemade yogurt. Yomee is designed to create three popular styles of yogurt. Use the free Yomee app to select Plain (a smooth and creamy style), Stirred (a lighter, pourable style), or Greek (a thick, richly dense style), or just press the Yomee button on the base to start Plain yogurt right away. First, Yomee stirs and heats the milk to 185°F remove harmful bacteria. Then Yomee cools the milk down to a comfortable 115°F degrees, the ideal temperature for yogurt bacteria to get to work turning milk into yogurt. Only then Yomee drops a Yomee pod into the milk, stirs and dissolves the pod, and after 6 hours of incubation, Yomee turns down the heat to a chill 50°F . In about 20-30 minutes, the your yogurt is fully chilled and ready to enjoy!

Both dairy and vegan pods will be available in plain and these flavored varieties.

How does Yomee differ to yogurt makers that exist in the market?
Yomee is programmed to heat, cool the milk and drop in the pod that contains the culture. With other yogurt makers you either need to heat the milk or cool it down and you need to manually stir in the culture and sometimes the yogurt doesn’t turn out well. No yogurt maker out there does all 3 steps with a press of a button and the recipe in our pods are developed and tested to give you perfect yogurt every time, so you don’t wake up to yogurt that didn’t turn out well

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
