Content: After 24 hours, the buttermilk will have thickened to where it will coat the inside of a glass, and it should have a pleasantly tart flavor. Refrigerate to chill or use right away, and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several weeks. Repeat the process as often as you like when you get down to the last 6 to 8 ounces of buttermilk. The key here is the ratio of 4:1. You could use one cup of buttermilk and four cups of whole milk, but that won't fit in a quart jar. Even if all you have is two tablespoons of buttermilk left at the bottom of a carton, you can add four ounces of milk and wind up with five ounces of buttermilk, and you can just keep increasing it from there by repeating the process. Or you could buy a quart of buttermilk and combine it with a gallon of milk to make five quarts of buttermilk. The nice thing about this method is that you can keep repeating the process and theoretically never run out of buttermilk again. But you'd need to make sure that the buttermilk you use as your starter is always fresh . How to Make Homemade Buttermilk From Active Culture
You can purchase active buttermilk cultures, usually in freeze-dried form, and use them to make your own buttermilk, basically by combining the culture with whole milk and letting it sit out for 12 to 24 hours, much like when trying to extend your store-bought buttermilk.
