]]> Mozzarella question https://curd-nerd.com/forum/topic/mozzarella-question/ Wed, 06 Aug 2014 13:50:01 +0000 https://curd-nerd.com/forum/topic/mozzarella-question/ I’m a beginner at cheese. My recipe is more of a thick sludge and is trying to form curds. I used two cans of goats milk mixed with 2% milk for the gallon of milk, liquid rennet and citric acid (Ball fruit fresh produce protector) used in canning from the store. I followed directions and let it set overnight on the stove (no heat). It’s thicker this morning but still hasn’t formed curds. Should I reheat it or add more rennet? HELP, I DONT WANT TO WASTE THE INGREDIENTS…I want cheese!

    never

got to the point where I could stretch it. Now I have a ton of “feta” and no Mozzarella. I let the curds drain and left them out for about 4 days total… I tried stretching every day. Feta, Feta, Feta, (or something that tastes and acts like Feta.) I’m Fed-ta-ed up with it! (te, he!) I need some Mozzarella!

What did I do wrong?

Notes: Goat milk was 1-3 days old, home pasteurized milk.
I used:
2.5 gal. milk
slightly under 1/2 Teaspoon of Thermophilic Culture
1/4 tsp. older rennet (maybe that was the issue?)
and I followed the recipe.
