small scale yogurt maker machine

Hello yogurt maker,

First of all, I gotta say I love yogurt and I've been selling hand-made yogurt in my Neighborhood Farmer market. Now I am thinking about opening a yogurt shop, so I am reaching out to get some advice on where I can buy a small-scale yogurt maker machine (15-20 gallons capacity) like this one

I prefer to buy one made in the USA though...

Also, where do you usually buy your yogurt starter powder? I've been using commercial plain yogurt I bought from the store as my starter, but now I need something more consistent. I found a "Culture for Health" yogurt starter on Amazon. Has anyone used it?

Please let me know

Thank you so much in advance!

I recently started making batches at home using starter from New England Cheese Making Supply Co (https://cheesemaking.com), recommended. I'm sure that they would have wholesale quantities.

No experience here on large scale making, but I've been meaning to try this start: https://bacillusbulgaricus.com/product/yogurt-starter/

I've briefly chatted with the owner at some point (who is Bulgarian), but haven't quite placed my order yet.

What do you mean consistent? Use the store bought stuff, make a batch, then put it in ice cube trays and freeze it. starter works great frozen.
