    White Stilton with Dried Cherries

    This one was devoured long ago, apparently I never updated the thread.

    White Stilton with Apricots @ 4 months

    Oh, we ate it :) It just wasn't our favorite. Yes, just no blue added. Yeah, 15m in a steamer insert on the stove. Thanks! It's slightly acidic, which works great with the sweet apricots. Thank you! Here's the deep dive on the first time...

    Piacentinu Ennese (Saffron & Peppercorn) @ 4 months

    This is the second time I've made this one, it is one of my favorites ever.

    White Stilton with Apricots @ 4 months

    Doesn't look like I did a 'making of' post, but here's the final process. This is the third time I've made this one. The second time, I swapped dried cherries for the apricots and it was not nearly as good - the cherries had too much moisture IMO.

    Freezer Full of Beef

    I'm at the very tail end of the last cow we got -- a ton of roasts left that I'm mostly grinding up for summer sausage, chili, hamburger or taco meat.

    Internal Temperature for Chicken - thoughs?

    I'm on Team 155. I prefer brined, but only remember to do it about half the time...

    Traditional mozzarella

    Looks perfect.

    First mozzarella attempt

    I'm think expecting Inkbird to make a substantially larger housing to fit some indeterminate variety of different plugs & wall warts is not realistic. But let the anger flow if it helps :)

    100% here in Austin, may be cloudy though. Traffic is insane.

    French Chaource - great beginners cheese, only takes two weeks

    For batches using 3 gallons of milk or less, I sit the pot inside the tub of water as you see above. Not doubled, just a pot full of milk. For more than 3 gallons of milk, I put the pot directly in the sink with the sous vide controller in it.

    Inkbird humidity & temp controllers. You can probably get away without a dehumidifier initially, unless it proves to be a problem. The two below work really well - but most importantly, they stay turned on when you cut the power to them. Humidifier: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MOI5QUU...
