I make goat's milk yogurt, but it turns out thin and not thick like I want. I like spoonable yogurt. Can someone help me without having to put all kinds of preservatives in it? Thanks.

First off I have absolutely zippo experience making yogurt. But if you are comparing yours to commercial yogurts they often add things to thicken them up and or to keep the whey from separating out.
Here are a few articles that mention adding powdered milk or gelatin to thicken it up.
I have taken reg yogurt and strained it with a yogurt strainer which removes some of the whey and makes a thicker yogurt similar to the greek yogurt in stores now. The whey is good to save and use in soups.

I add 1/2 Cup of nonfat dry powdered milk to mine and I use Greek yogurt as a starter. Hope this helps! cindy
Yogurt can be thickened by straining it through cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Place a coffee filter in a strainer or colander. Put the strainer over a large bowl to catch the liquid. Spoon the yogurt onto the coffee filter.
