In Hokkaido Japan we never throw the whey, we give it to our calves

[@SkidMarkSmeller]

I think that’s a fantastic use of whey, you must have happy calves 😊

[@JuanMedina-tn4iy]

Great job. Greetings from Turin

[@erwinraaben55]

That was flipping fantastic Piet and Casey. Great commentary on how the process proceeds. Surely have to make one for the Gelato making as well.

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Thanks! Gelato video will be coming in the future!

Очень понравилось что на ферме и сыроварне: чистота, порядок, все на своем месте. Так как я люблю) Так же люди с хорошим настроением и любовью к своему труду.

[@patricknesburg575]

Excellent video! Thank you for showing the process, very interesting to see cheese made. Even better, to see your family work together to make an outstanding final product. We will be coming through Carrington on the 19th and 21st and would love to stop by one of those times to buy some cheese

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

I think they'll be open 18th and 20th but not the 19th or 21st.

That was awesome I never knew that's how you make that type of cheese that's cool hope all is well in the family. Take care stay safe God bless

[@dhenschel4]

Thanks for doing this video, I always wanted to see the process of making cheese. It's great you can have this income generator in addition to producing milk. Your venture is really working out well.

Pete and family. That was awesome. A lot detail than ive ever would have thought. Is there a possibility that your broth-n-law filmed the waxing process as well? And it's great to have a 30 minute video from you as well.

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

We will make a video of the waxing process in the future!

Thanks, Gouda is one of my favorite cheeses!

[@vincentdevos8982]

Hey Piet and Casey we need to see more cheese making , very interesting. Piet looks like you can trust Casey , he knows what he's doing ! Lol lol Wishing you guys and families a very Merry Xmas and a great New Year !

[@jameslesliejr.5636]

Wow. 👍

[@bobjohnson1710]

Wow! That was really nice to watch! Its nice to see so much of your family working together to make the different dairy products Piet. How would a fellow go about buying a mini wheel of your Gouda cheese anyway?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

The cheese is available at the creamery in Carrington and they deliver to about 10 cities/towns in North Dakota once a month. They have plans to be able to ship in the future, when that happens I'll be sure to share it on the videos!

[@bobjohnson1710]

@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 I've watched hundreds of KZbin Vloggers supplement their income by selling tee shirts and hats direct to their viewers. You've got a captive audience here watching your videos. With the cheese your family produces, you've got a product that can be shipped relatively easy, its unique and one size fits all. Play your cards right and you could be the face of who put North Dakota cheese on the map!

[@waynereed863]

Very interesting video about cheese making with your family. They did a great job. Where does the cheese go after it's aged?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

It stays in the aging room until it's going to be sold. At that point they will cut the wheels into 1lb wedges and package them individually.

[@Rich-kx4qm]

Brother inlaw is fit 😆

[@breemorken80]

Loved the video and what you have going on at the ND Dairy farm! I am curious, is it safe to stick your arm in the cheese bath - contamination and hair particles happening! Why wear a hair net on your head and not cover your arms? Regardless of that, amazing work, very inspirational and appreciate the share of knowledge!

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Thank you! They clean themselves very well when they're making cheese and gelato! It's very hands on work because they are making the products in small artisan batches as close to they way they were traditionally made as possible!

[@vincentdevos8982]

I really and truly admire you guys working around extreme cold and snow . The cheese making was very interesting. I have been toying with the idea of making some goatsmilk cheese for myself .

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Thank you!

[@oghuzkhan5117]

Nice video. What do you do with the 'way' or how ever you say (write it) it at 13:48. I know cows LOVE it.

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Right now the whey is discarded, in the future if we have larger amounts we'd like to use it as feed.

[@rypkepaulusma]

@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 you know wey is in hot demand in the fitness industry, so besides feeding you could try and make some money out of it?

[@dsvidhill3409]

Very informative video. What happens to the whey?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Right now the whey is discarded, in the future when they have larger amounts of whey we'd like to colect it and use it as feed.

[@sawboneiomc8809]

Is there an agitator is the vertical tank so that when you pump out the milk there is milk and cream? Where is it drawn off from, the cream is at the top of the tank correct?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

There is an agitator on both of our storage tanks to prevent the cream from separating. They run intermittently as we fill the tank. Both the tank and silo are emptied from the bottom.

[@jansmit4628]

Nice video again, not cheesy at all 😂. In the days my father was a dairy farmer with 16 cows, delivering the milk in 30 litre cans to the plant, he could get whey back in those same cans from the factory for additional feed of young calves. I can imagine that that fluid still contains valuable minerals or proteins. The same calves would also drink the very first milk given by cow's that had calved. But as that lasts only for a short period, we would mix special milk powder for calves with water or that whey. Question 1: Do you feed whey also or is that to much hassle with the much larger tanks? Question 2: Does your brother in law need a licence to make the Gouda cheese? Question 3: Does he obtain the special ingredients from them to give the final product the Gouda cheese flavour?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

We don't feed the whey now because it's a small volume at this point. In the future, with larger volumes, it could make sense. I don't believe my sister has a specific license to make gouda cheese, but they do have a permit to process milk. They use cheese cultures to make gouda cheese.

[@user-bn2hw1nh7v]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@abdullah319]

Hey I've got a couple of technical questions which I'm really hoping you can answer 1) He mentions he washes the curd twice so how much whey did he remove the first time and how much water did he add back? What should the temperature be at first heating? How much water should be added at second heating (I'm guessing final temp of whey and curd mixture should be about 38-39 degrees C) + what should be the temperature of the water being added? 2) How long did they press the cheese for and how often did they flip and at what pressure were the cheeses pressed?

[@abdullah319]

Also, how long did he pre-press for? Apologies in advance for some many questions :D I am a home cheese-maker and want to make really authentic Gouda cheese

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

We'll try to make a video in the future that explains the different steps of the process in more detail!

[@Danny-xe8lp]

Great video how long is the cheese aged

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

The cheese is aged for a minimum of 6 weeks and can be aged for up to 2 years or even longer. The longer it's aged the stronger the flavor.

[@markmarcenko5738]

Don't leave us hanging, can we see the waxing process. Great video!!

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

What is the name of the culture you used? and what brand?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

I'm not sure on that, I'd have to ask my sister.

[@matthewroszkowski4674]

can I buy some here in Minneapolis?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

You can order gouda cheese to be shipped to you from the website cowsandcocreamery.com The closest place to purchase cheese curds and gelato would be in Fargo, ND

[@lordhoho1]

Is there any use for the whey

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

There isn't enough volume to make it worthwhile now, but in the future, we'd like to feed it to the cows or calves.

[@lordhoho1]

@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 thanks for reply very interesting video

[@SkidMarkSmeller]

Why do you throw away the whey?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

It's currently not enough for us to collect. In the future if we're making larger volumes of cheese we'd like to feed it to the cows.
