Because it is not thick enough. I used to do this and added a
little gelatin to the matured yogurt. Too much messing about and
(no surprise) a slightly different feel and taste.
The other reason is this: ever boiled up milk? It is full of
dangers, you have to watch it like a hawk, it sticks to the pan
and there is actual washing up! The thing about my latest
discovery, is zero washing up.. Powdered makes it simple because
you just boil the water as for a cup of tea.

This is what I used to do and it does not work well. Sure it is
fine for the 2nd batch but trouble strikes soon enough.
Contamination! You hoe into the yogurt day after day and soon it
will get degraded and pass on off cultures... Here is a
refinement: if you don't buy just a special culture, buy most
(not all) any yogurt and put a good bit of it or all of it in a
very clean or best a sterilised jar and use this as a store only
for making yogurt, being very careful to use priste sterilised or
very clean spoon to mine its content form time to time.
.... refinement from auntie dorayme's kitchen. Enjoy.
