Since it was my first time, and I have no idea how far past the rind/hard outside the smoke would Pentwater, I cut my 2 lb wheel into quarters.
Check out that color! My fingers smell smoky immediately just by handling it for a few seconds.
This wheel was aged 7ish months, and it's incredible. Had it on a burgah, all nice and melty.

Get some ph strips and either base or acidafy whatever medium you are using ie milk, water, wine etc keep it around 7ph for most cultures except geotricium candatium that likes a higher ph around high 7.7 or so similar to soil. Cut up some rind and steep it in the liquid for 24 hrs at room temp and add refined sugar, a tsp at best for your cup of medium and then add it to your milk thats ripening. For rind cultures same step as above but blend it and strain it and use a spray bottle and apply it every 12 hrs and dab the liquid off

are you guys using raw milk? i can only get regular pasteurized (not ultra at least) and i heard using lipase can replace some of the flavor that's been rob from the milk but i have no idea what i'm actually missing

>> No.18341196

You can freehand it for rinds and just simply add store bought molded rinds to you curd mass and it does work too if your feeling lazy also works for blues although you shouldn't mold outside in

Mines just pasteurized i do not live in a free nation so the only raw milk i can get is goat milk for dogs at a pet store, calcium chloride negates the degradation of most pasteurization unless its UHT them your fucked

>> No.18341208

>>18341193
Correct. As long as it's not Ultta-pasturized, 2% or Whole from the store works just fine. Lipase and Calcium Chloride are additives I use to restore some of the lost stuff.
Granted, NOTHING beats raw milk for cheese, but us Ameriturds gotta make due.

I would suggest a fat bandaged rind they work very well rainforest climates since I live one as well, all you have to do is wrap your curd mass in sanitized cheese cloth bathed in tallow, lard, any fat that doesnt go rancid after being oxadized. Then weigh it down with 60lbs to impregnate the pores with fat for food safety puposes and to inhibit sub rind mold growth. The mold will grow on the fat and it will develop a interesting flavor into the cheese with whatever amino acids and other organic compounds it leaves behind
