My first goal is to get good soft cheeses going. The main goal, of course, is to make my very own hard cheeses.
FIRST EPIPHANY: JUST DO!
As is with most people in my generation, I just didn’t do ANYTHING because I wanted to make it perfect. All or nothing. Seeing that this is not very productive, I chose to just try things out, some of the attempts weren’t bad at all.
Yesterday was probably a breakthrough, I will check on my soft cheese after writing this here!
WHAT I DID:
I heat up a litre of fresh organic milk. After being careful not to burn and and keep it just under the boil, I add the juice of a lemon. Under heat and stirring, I notice there are two parts seperating in the pot, one of them is my highly sought after whey.
This I pour, after a while of the dairy still being on the heat, into some cloth I purchased. I make a bag of this and create a makeshift drainage system (will post a pic later) and refrigerate.
RESULT:
I’ll know in like half an hour!
