Set yoghurt

This does mean that, as before, once you actually decant it into fridge-sized containers you end up with a lot of curdled-looking solids floating in whey rather than the smooth set disc in which it originally forms; I tried straining the remains at the bottom of the pot through a hair sieve, but it didn't work that well. (It wasn't fine enough to give clear whey, while a lot of the yoghurt got stuck in the sieve and wasted.)
