I think I've used that one before. I bought a different one from cheesemaking.com.au and the main one I bought is great, this slimy one is one I'm trying out because it is both a stronger taste (which I thought would be good some of the time) and it has a lot of different bacteria in it, 10 varieties instead of the normal 2-4. Plus when they arrived I was given two other varieties as samples, I've tried 3 out of the 4 now.
I strain the yoghurt to make it thicker, sometimes closer to soft cheese than yoghurt. I might try straining some of this batch a bit more and see what that does to the texture too.
