Belated welcome Herdman,

Any luck with the cheese making ?

I did a few tries last year until I ran out of rennet. you can get satisfying results.

I now found some rennet in powdered form, keeps for much longer ..

Will give it another go soon enough..

Camile

Long-term cheesemaker here, but on a small domestic scale. Did'tt know about powdered rennet, will have a look for it.

Welcome from me too, by the way. Smile

I buy in cow's milk at the moment, but I do have a couple of nanny goats that need to be got into kid. Still. Rolling Eyes  Laughing However, I think one may have turned into a maiden milker I hope, so if I can get her to stand still long enough, I'll give ita go.


Will have a look at Ascotts for the rennet, thanks. Don't tell OH I'm looking there though Shocked  Laughing

the cheese making is improving all the time temperature can make such a difference also a stable maturing room is very important in making consistant quality cheese i think  .change of topic I heard a rumour of a web site that you could bid on almost out of date food this food would be in catering sizes and generally from the food processors
