    Excellent starter kit with a variety of cheese types

    Posted by Chris on 1st Jan 2020

    I purchased this as a gift for my wife. She is enjoying trying something new, and seems to be enjoying making her own cheese. The only area where the kit is lacking is in the instructions. The directions are not clear, so we have gone to various sites on the internet for clarity. For example, the mozzarella recipe states to add the rennet, but doesn't state how much. The package isn't labeled as rennet but as vegetable coagulant, or something similar, and has instructions for a 1/4 tablet per four gallons of milk. We started off with a single gallon of milk and estimated the rennet from there. I would certainly purchase additional items from here, but will look for a good cheese making recipe book in the near future. Note from Steve/thecheesemaker: since every cheese maker uses different amounts of milk, we label all our culture, rennets, molds, additive, etc with a Usage Rate noted on the label. This information informs the cheese maker how much of that ingredient to use per the quantity of milk being used. Books only give a partial answer and actually confuse cheese. And, each type of coagulant/rennet has different strength so it's important to follow the Usage Rate on our label, rather than what's stated in any recipe.
