making homemade ricotta and queso blanco......much q/view

[got14u]

I actually got my rennet from mexico in liquid form. Only certain cheeses use it any ways. Mainly hard cheeses.

Thanks again for the help- looking forward to doing some cheese soon

Nice looking cheeses.

How did you get that 20 lb weight to balance without falling. My luck it would take out a large section of floor

Excellent post! I've tried unsuccessfully to make cheese years ago and now you've stoked me up to try again! Good deal!

I'll answer any questions I can for ya....

Hey rivet did you ever make any ?

somewhere in here a "cheese cave" was mentioned... I assume a certain temp and humidity is what is needed? I have a storm celler I turned into a storage for my canning jars that I think might be just the thing...

I'm not sure of the exact temps and humidity. I will check it out and post it up.

I agree with the OP here, stay away from kits. Cheese is pretty easy (not to knock the OP here, you did a great looking job) and not to mention fun.

Get the kids involved and it's much more fun!

 

[got14u]

I agree..It's actually very easy...One thing I do is follow the directions to the T when making cheese. Later after I learn some of the basics I will start tweeking it to my personal likings.
