Wheel 166
March 14, 2019, I finally got to make
cheese again. it was a long break due to
Hobbies and illness. What made it
even more special, is the fact that it was pi day. I made Jim Wallace's recipe
for a Roquafort cheese and used 2 gallons of
Gary's Jersey cow's milk. The total
cheese weight is 2 lbs 15 oz so close
to 3 lbs. I also got 6 oz of ricotta.
The sides seem to compress so I
will be curious as to the the blue developes



Wheel 167:
Today May 18, 2019 I finally got to make
cheese again. We were involved in refinishing
our wooden floors. I made Jim Wallace's Wakkow
Toma Ossoolano style cheese, with 4 gallons
of Gary's cow milk. I might have dried the
curds too much because my final weight
was only 4 lbs 4 oz whereas Jim got 5 lbs 5 oz.
It weill be a decent cheese by maybe
a bit drier: need to age longer. I wanted
a shorter age cheese to have when the boys
are here this summer. I slso got 1 lb. 4
oz of ricotta cheese -- wow.
