These approximations are close enough for home cheesemaking. I adjust for this by simply subtracting 0.15 from my readings. I unknowingly purchased pH calibrations for 4.00 and 6.86, where my pH meter calibrates to 4.00 and 7.00. You will also note that my pH meter calibration was off by 0.15. You may want to prepare yourself for that find some good music. Know that when making cheddar, the process takes no less than eight hours – most of that time is slowly stirring the pot. My make day consisted of the following process. ^It may be worth noting that those moving on to hooping the curd and forming a wheel (or block), the pH target for filling the cheese mold and pressing is 5.2. This means that I am using 12 times the amount that is typical shown in recipes in this case, 1/2 tsp of typical-diluted rennet is called for for ten liters of milk. Normal strength rennet is diluted to 1:12000. *Note that the calf rennet I have is diluted to 1:1000. So, I give to you the exact same process to make a cheddar cheese wheel, but stopping with Squeaky Cheese Curds. However, making a batch of cheddar cheese curds to share with the locals, spreading some Wisconsin culture, sounded like a fantastic idea. My newly acquired cheese form would not be useful for a ten-liter batch of cheddar. Knowing that it would be futile, I simply said that we would come back at another time. A local, waiting her turn, suggested cashing out the money and re-adding it to the machine. I did attempt to fill the second tank, but it became unbearable slow. It became clear near the end that the milk was exhausted as it was dispensing slower and slower. Last Monday afternoon, we visited the farm.Īfter he filled up his containers with three liters of milk, I started filling one of my two ten-liter tanks. Not only does this mean that he has accumulated excess Kefir grains that he has gifted me, but also that he is making more frequent trips to the local raw milk station. To my good fortune, a fellow American living in Erfurt, who has access to a car, recently became more active in making his own Kefir.
