I let mine go for 5-6 hr in the yogurt maker (Salton), then overnight
in the refrigerator. Then I strain it through a giant coffee filter
in a colander placed in a bowl in the refrigerator. In the summertime
when the kitchen is warm, I just leave it on the counter overnight
with no yogurt maker.

Maybe the problem you had was because of TJs yogurt cheese instead of
the Greek yogurt. Although I essentially use drained yogurt for a
starter, but maybe there is something different about Trader Joe's
yogurt cheese.

Too bad. I once had to discard a batch that didn't set up and it
bothered me to discard a quart of milk!
