About This Product
B Linens Strain ARN 10 Dose
Add the red color seen on cheeses like brick, Munster and Limburger using one of our available b-linens yeasts. Add color to some styles of bloomy rind cheeses.
B-linens yeast come in small packets. Use a very small amount to inoculate a small milk batch (1-10 gallons). Experiment using different strains on your homemade cheese and see the differences in color. You'll want to age these cheeses away from other cheeses, to keep any cross contamination controlled.
