Did you brine the cheese?

No, the curds are milled and salted before pressing

Here's a question. Can you use the developed mold from a prior Bleu Cheese to inoculate a future batch or do you have to keep buying the mold? Also, how long will a packet of the penicillin store after opening?
@zimmerleeats800Ай бұрын
Yes you can inoculate with the existing mold! Same with other molds. When I’m aging a cheese that is not vacuum seal, a lot of times it ends up developing that blue mold because it already exists in my cheese fridge and I have to wipe it off. As far as the shelf life on an open package of the mold, as long as it is sealed in a bag and in the freezer it should last quite a while.

@@zimmerleeats800 I really want to start getting into making cheeses. I have done a little in the past, but have mostly been doing yogurt and cream cheese. With the yogurt, especially, I always use some of my last batch, so I don't have to keep buying cultures. I am a strong believer of "using what you have" and knowing that I can do that with something like this, especially seeing how it is not that difficult, I am more excited. Just a thought, can I use my yogurt as a Mesophilic? I know I would have to actually buy any thermophilic cultures, or is there a "work around" for that too? Love the videos, seeing that it is not overly difficult (many out there tend to be too "scientific") to do and the fact that you enjoy doing it comes out.
@zimmerleeats800Ай бұрын
@user-gn1pl1lp3u You should definitely start! It’s a very rewarding hobby. It can seem intimidating but once you dive right into it it isn’t. Yes you can use yogurt as cultures.
@user-gn1pl1lp3uАй бұрын
It seems you use about the same amount of milk in all of your cheese making videos, but don't say how much. How much do you use? Also, can you brine at a slightly lower temperature, like in a normal refrigerator (I guess they usually run from 42F to 45F)?
@zimmerleeats800Ай бұрын
I typically use a gallon and a half of milk. But you could use double that amount and still use the same amount of rennet and calcium chloride. And yes you can still brine this particular cheese in a normal fridge. It just might mature at a slower rate
@user-gn1pl1lp3uАй бұрын
If you vacuum seal the pressed cheese, would not the humidity be irrelevant?
@zimmerleeats800Ай бұрын
Yes, good call. I had meant to say, if not vacuum sealing and depending on what cheese you are making, humidity may vary.

All cheese is made from milk, coagulated with rennet, and then Cut and stirred before straining and more often than not, pressing. The process in this video is the stirring of the curds 🧀

You don't state how much milk to use and also is it non homogenised.
@zimmerleeats8002 ай бұрын
It can vary depending on how much cheese you want to make, but for this particular cheese I used a gallon and a half of milk. I used homogenized and pasteurized milk, so that’s why I added the calcium chloride to it

As long as you’re following the right process, it will ferment. Good indicators that it has fermented is the color of the meat after, and firmness. It also has a particular (delicious) smell.

Looks great. I've never heard of using or allowing such high temps. I was always taught that the old school way of hanging them in a garage was done in the winter months and that you had to keep temps above freezing, but below like 42-44 degrees max. Essentially no warmer than a refrigerator. Seems if it gets in the 50s the raw meet would spoil?
@tomynoks2 ай бұрын
The most acceptable temps for drying any salame, charcuterie, etc if btw 40-60° and 60-80% humidity. That being said, even if it's a little too warm or low humidity, I've had success.

I take the weight of the meat in grams in calculate 2.5% salt and 0.25% cure #2. Or if you’re only using salt without cure you would do 3% the weight of the meat

whey is also tasty! DOnt waste it! You could do ricotta. You could just drink it (I mix with a juice). You could make a tasty bread, using it instead of water. And also, if you do a lot of cheese(as I see), you could use it instead of the micro-starter. PS. Yes, now I hear you mention it :)) Still, for those who missed your comment.
