Make mozzarella cheese in less than an hour!

[lavvy2585]

that looks delicious but there is no cure time you just eat as soon as it is finished?

[AustinHomebrew]

@lavvy2585 Yes, mozzarella is not aged. Enjoy it fresh.

[trevorpinnocky]

if you are preparing this for someone who is salt sensitive, can you skip the added salt? How much will the flavor be affected?

[AustinHomebrew]

@trevorpinnocky I suppose so but it might be bland. You can add as little or as much as you want, to taste.

[Bernt96]

i like cheese

[shhhewolf]

i like his voice....its soothing

[TheHilariousNabeel]

Hey Mister Homebrew, can you make ricotta out of whey, and if this is possible can you tell me how? Because in my country it's very very expensive.

[AustinHomebrew]

@TheHilariousNabeel I have heard that you just need to get the whey up to boiling and turn off the heat and that's it. What is left is ricotta. I have not done it so I don't promise anything. You should google this.

[paula3280]

A lot of work but looks delicious! Great video

[llieske]

has this guy ever heard of a cheese cloth?

[AustinHomebrew]

@llieske Yes we have. We even sell them. You are free to use it here. It will just take longer.

[CyrusBlades]

is the whole microwaving process necessary? I'm trying to make some good mozzarella type cheese in an extremely basic environment... is there another way it can be heated? or does it really need to be heated at all?

[AustinHomebrew]

@CyrusBlades Yes, it needs to reach the temperatures stated in the video. You can also use the double boiler method on your stove. Or any other method to get to the temperatures stated.

[brossmart]

I got what I think is a very good question, maybe there is someone like me who as watched your video and lives in Québec (the province) where fresh and/or crude milk sales are forbidden, unlike in some other provinces you can buy it at the store. Here it is illegal to sell fresh milk, only 1%, 2% 3.25%, creame 15% and 10% and so on. How can I get some fresh milk or what will be the closest to fresh milk I can make cheese out of and if pasterized product will work.

[AustinHomebrew]

@brossmart Pasteurized works just don't get ULTRA-pasteurized. 3.25% would probably be best.

[DJKID777]

can u sell this

[AustinHomebrew]

@DJKID777 We sell this. Austin Homebrew Supply. The website address is in the description of the video and on the lower portion of the screen during the video.

[brossmart]

Instead of a strainer, can I use a cloth like a towel for drying the dishes. ?? I mean squeezing it to dryness.

[AustinHomebrew]

@brossmart Yes but it will take longer. Especially if it just an ordinary kitchen towel. Maybe even boil the cloth first to make sure it is sanitary.

[sofiyaexquisite]

did anyone tried making it ???

[AustinHomebrew]

@sofiyaexquisite If you look at other comments here many have tried to make it and loved it. Also, click on the link in the description in the video and you can read the comments on the product page. Cheers.

[sofiyaexquisite]

@AustinHomebrew thanks alot...i will try it soon :)

[thegreatersnake]

What is cheese salt, and how does it differ from a standard table salt?

[AustinHomebrew]

@thegreatersnake Cheese salt does not have iodine in it. Your cheese will be clumpy and not smooth if you use salt with iodine. Flaked cheese salt is the way to go, so that it gets dissolved into the cheese.

[StapledFish]

Would one still be able to age it?

[AustinHomebrew]

@StapledFish This cheese is not aged like other cheeses and is actually best when eaten within hours of its making.

[mailordersausage]

can you ship to the moon?

[professerofknobology]

mozzarella mmmmmmm

[Hittade]

Can you ship it to Sweden?

[AustinHomebrew]

@Hittade Sorry, we do not ship to Sweden.

[KendaraScotts1]

Can you ship to Philippines?

[AustinHomebrew]

@KendaraScotts1 Sorry, we do not ship to the Phillipines.

[KendaraScotts1]

@AustinHomebrew oh ok thanks but what countries to do you ship

[AustinHomebrew]

@KendaraScotts1 US and Canada.

[KendaraScotts1]

@AustinHomebrew thank you for your effortt :)

[musicgu7]

I dont like microwave stuff, how to do it without that step?

[AustinHomebrew]

@musicgu7 Double boiler method with 2 pots on the stove. Just maintain the same temps we state in the video.

[MoltenMozzarella]

I've been known to sleepwalk to the fridge to get some CHEESE.

[quangvinh144]

can you ship it to Vietnam?

[AustinHomebrew]

@quangvinh144 Sorry we do not ship to Vietnam.

[AnnyaMoon]

Oh! Awesome! :)

[maris442]

the temperature do you measure it in Farenheit or Celcious ?

[AustinHomebrew]

@maris442 Fahrenheit

[antieye555]

really cool and cheap too! :D

[MACSMovies]

Too cool!

[Z0MGMaTT]

Want!

[Nattles69]

Hi, Great video thanks! I had no idea you could make any cheese this quickly/easily. Sorry if this is already on your website somewhere... but do you ship these kits internationally? I live in Australia. Cheers.

[AustinHomebrew]

@Nattles69 Sorry but we do not ship to Australia.

[shanonfreek]

What type of milk does one use? Would it have to be whole milk? Or can you use just use milk you can pick up at a grocery store?

[AustinHomebrew]

@shanonfreek Any milk that is not ultra pasteurized will work. You will get a greater yield if you use whole milk.

[tplink]

so what separates good mozzarella from bad? quality of milk? quality of coaglants?

I live near a dairy farm, would it be best to get fresh milk or is bottled better?

[AustinHomebrew]

@tplink I personally have never had bad mozzarella. Don't know what would make it bad. Personal opinion separates good from bad I guess. I would say the fresher you can get anything, the better. Cheers

[horselover3112003]

What's this tablet?can anybody tell me

[AustinHomebrew]

@horselover3112003 YouTube will not let me put a link in this response. Type "rennet" into google or wikipedia. If you are wondering where to get it, the web address is on the bottom of the video for the entire video.

[brrag]

why do u use CaCl? First time I've ever heard of using this ingredient. Rennet and citric acid, but not CaCl. What does it do?

[AustinHomebrew]

@brrag It just makes things easier. Helps coagulate the curds

[MrLiftHog]

Chef John from foodwishes is the only one that can say.... "ENJOY" :)

[totopoo123]

Fancy microwave you got there.

[TurboCharizard]

i made it.....REALLY NICE ! good video

[streetwhereulive]

I'm always amazed at what i find on the internet. Who knew?

[TSueShares]

this was the most clear instructions I've found . Thank you

[MadMaxNow]

Were can i get the stuff to make this?I don't mean the milk though but the other stuff?

[AustinHomebrew]

@MadMaxNow Check the description of the video. Or look at the website on the bottom of the screen during the video. YouTube will not let me post a link in this reply.

[MadMaxNow]

@AustinHomebrew  ok thanks.

[stfuih8ulol]

YEEEEEUUUUUUMMMMM!

[bear13tucker]

Just wanted to say thanks! My son and I made this cheese yesterday and it was sooooo easy to do. Tasted great. We made homemade pizza and used our fresh mozzarella cheese on it. Side note....My wife is a vegetarian so we used vegetarian rennet. Worked great.

[Epurope]

how do people age cheese and stuff like that if it was made in under an hour will it taste different then the brands that people buy and it says the cheese was aged 234 days or something crazy and how does that cheese not get old

[AustinHomebrew]

@Epurope Mozzarella is a cheese that is best eaten fresh while other harder cheeses are aged for varying lengths.

[hroth521]

I made this exactly as you described it except I used liquid calcium chloride. I used a gallon of fresh whole milk from the store. It is as easy as you make it look. It turned out great. Thanks for posting this.

[JesseBAndersen]

Loves the spot when you cut the mozarella. It looks amazing.

[venomx723272]

Looks easy. I may have to try this. Thanks, man.

[pandafresh]

I hate when people do a video and dont explain, what kind of milk, and important steps..-.-

[AustinHomebrew]

@pandafresh Doesn't matter what milk as long as it is not ultra pasteurized. Whole milk will produce the most yield. This video is specifically for a cheese kit from Austin Homebrew Supply. This video is meant to complement the included instructions of that kit. We have not left out other important steps for making our specific kit.

[daddysgirl1834]

R YaLL SuRe ThaT WaS LeSS ThaN An HoUr ProCssES..!!!!!!

[AustinHomebrew]

@daddysgirl1834 YeS

[AustinHomebrew]

@cpech2 Any of those is fine. You will get a better yield from whole milk.

[AustinHomebrew]

@chrismclean40 Check the description of the video. Or look at the website on the bottom of the screen during the video. YouTube will not let me post a link in this reply.

[SoothingPine]

Lovely... Thanks

[usafadb]

How does the taste compare to store bought mozzarella?

[AustinHomebrew]

@usafadb Tastes very similar.

[btstv]

Where do you get the rennet tablet?

[AustinHomebrew]

@btstv Check the description of the video. Or look at the website on the bottom of the screen during the video. YouTube will not let me post a link in this reply.

[xazngiirlx]

oh wow it looks delicious =D

[SuperKingNova]

Wow......... where to get the supplies ?.....

[AustinHomebrew]

@SuperKingNova Check the description of the video. Or look at the website on the bottom of the screen during the video. YouTube will not let me post a link in this reply.

[iwatcher69]

how is it that the curds are sturdy enough to only use a strainer. I have to use cheese cloth.

[AustinHomebrew]

@iwatcher69 Sorry, don't know what to tell you. Do everything exactly as we say in the video and the curds will turn out the way they do and be strained the way they are shown.

[0623kaboom]

@iwatcher69 that would be the calcium chloride ... makes better curds .. a tad stronger than without it ... sorta like the bones of them. If you dont want to buy cheese cloth a loose weave cloth will work fine just clean it well and rinse in fresh water with no chemicals before using or boil it to sanitize it then rinse in water.

[superaziz14]

why is it light yellow instead of white

[AustinHomebrew]

@superaziz14 It is totally white. Any time it kind of looks yellow it was just the kitchen lighting.

[superaziz14]

@AustinHomebrew oh ok thanks

[grapsta]

I thought you needed raw unpasteurised milk ( which is unavailable here in Australia) to make mozzarella ?

[AustinHomebrew]

@grapsta Nope.

[td84]

How much money did do you think you spent making this mozzarella cheese?

[AustinHomebrew]

@td84 The cost of a gallon of milk plus $4.99 for the kit at Austin Homebrew Supply. And I still have enough to make this 3 more times.

[lolllipopmania]

hello! is there any use for the whey? is it safe to eat? it seems like such a waste...

[AustinHomebrew]

@lolllipopmania I believe you can make ricotta out of it.

[deotrung]

yummy!



[bffs2011xoxo]

Nice

[TexStarJim]

I just saw on the news Jesus was seen in Chicago at the Amtrak station, he bought a ticket and is bound for New Orleans. Hoping to have some of this fresh mozerrella cheese made and ready by the time He gets here.

[Vamptra]

Instead of using the strainer, couldnt you use a cheese cloth? It would seem that this would be easier to get out the excess moisture.

[AustinHomebrew]

@Vamptra Yes you can. It just takes longer.

[xcutecupcakelala]

is there a special store that i can get supplies? Does wal-mart have it?

and hows the cleanup?

[AustinHomebrew]

@xcutecupcakelala People ask this all the time. Please rewatch the video and look and the web address on the bottom. Cleanup is easy. It is just washing dishes.

[BaykanOnTube]

Do I need to use a microwave can I heat it on stovetop? I'm a little funny about nuking' my food :)

[AustinHomebrew]

@BaykanOnTube You can use the stove with a double boiler method. You just need to get to the temperatures described in the video.

[BaykanOnTube]

@AustinHomebrew Thanks ! :))

[towhidyr]

Can we just use kosher salt and fresh lime juice?

[AustinHomebrew]

@towhidyr Sorry, I have no idea. This video is the exact way to make Austin Homebrew Supply's mozzarella kit. Any other methods you are curious about are up to you to research

[0623kaboom]

@towhidyr yes most kosher salt is without Iodine. grind it up fine ...about half size of table salt. silver bullet works great for that ;)

@sansalazar100 yes add a tbl spoon more powder to your mix .. I have used it but added 250ml (smallest size) of heavy cream for extra fat content. It tastes like a weight watchers light cheese ... since most powdered milk is 2% skim.

[sansalazar100]

Can we use powdered milk ,will it be firm the same way

[AustinHomebrew]

@sansalazar100 You can use it but I bet it will taste bad

[TheCutebarbieslover]

is that it can be use in pizza or have the same texture that we brought from market .

[AustinHomebrew]

@TheCutebarbieslover Yes

[Jade7272]

i am definately trying this some day!

[Majikat1976]

I finally got to try this, my cheese came out good however it was a little rubbery. Any advice for next time?

[AustinHomebrew]

@Majikat1976 Perhaps you kneaded it too much. Or your microwave is stronger than normal.

[Majikat1976]

@AustinHomebrew My microwave is actually a lot stronger, how much shorter should i put them in for, cause things that take like 3 minutes to cook in mine take like 1.

[AustinHomebrew]

@Majikat1976 Trial and error my friend. Sounds like you should try 1/3 of the time we suggest.

[BlackSkullz09]

@AustinHomebrew dumb question but does it taste like the real deal?

[AustinHomebrew]

@BlackSkullz09 Yes indeed



[dr4pep]

I was wondering how to store the cheese after it is made? Thanks.

[AustinHomebrew]

@dr4pep In the fridge for sure. A saltwater brine is one option. A ziplock bag is an option. A vented container is another option.

[0623kaboom]

@AustinHomebrew it can also be frozen for 2 to 3 months .. doesnt taste as good but it works. I like the video btw it is very descriptive .. CaCl makes a stringer curd I have used a different kit but it is basically the same they suggest 30 secs and 10 secs after also firmer cheese more cycles more cycles less stringy when melted I would suggest adding a bit about second boiling the whey for ricotta may improve sales of the kit as well becasue people will like the 2 for 1 deal.

[DarkShroom]

that's amazing it didn't even occur to me to make you own mozzarella, I always wanted to homemake cheese

[sohoyankee66]

Good vid, I'm looking forward to trying this. Thank you for posting.

[sohoyankee66]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting this. I can't wait to try it.

[versatilechicken]

can we drain it on cheese cloth?

[AustinHomebrew]

@versatilechicken Yes you can

[izk18]

very nice

[yummyplant]

i so wana buy the kit now!

[Mrrico1969]

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[AwesomenessVidStudio]

88 degrees. That is all.

[BDFP86]

What do I have to do to get this to a state appropriate for pizza? Just keep heating and pressing off the whey until it is the desirable consistency?

Thanks, Great video! Can't wait to try

[AustinHomebrew]

@BDFP86 Sure. You will be able to tell as you make it

[1BravoB1]

I love your video Thanks! I have made 3 cheeses ever since, all great. However my cheese never gets as shiny. Instead it gets flaky on the outside is it because I didn't use cheese salt? I used regular salt. - Thanks in Advance -

[AustinHomebrew]

@1BravoB1 Could be that and/or you kneaded it too much.

[rakhello]

lovely..nice video...what type of milk do you use mean .....%  fat...thanks

[AustinHomebrew]

@rakhello Whole milk is best but not totally necessary.

[missjuliacarvalho]

Hi! Great video! Thanks for sharing! Instead of going through the entire process, can you use those same curds for poutine and eating?? They seem a bit smaller than regular cheese curds. Also, can I buy all those ingredients locally??

[AustinHomebrew]

@missjuliacarvalho All ingredients for this kit can be purchased at the web address on the bottom of the video. Don't see any reason why you couldn't eat them on poutine.

[0623kaboom]

@missjuliacarvalho to make the curd look like you are used to make a flatish lump that is long and about a quarter inch high by 2 or 3 inches wide then cut in half inch strips ... thats the only difference ... the cheese factory curds are cut with a uniform rake so you get the styrofoam peanut looking curds .. smaller chunks are better for poutine btw melts easier and gets all the way through the fries ;) it also makes EXCELLENT garlic cheese bread

[zerenitythoughts]

Thats it?! It's soo easy to make....I'm a big fan of fresh mozzarella and after watching all these videos I'm sooo mad a little ball of it at the store is like $4!!!!! >=/

[coolwoodwater]

I love it bud.. I have a couple of dairy goats and I made a simple farmers cheese last year and I cant wait to give this a try with my goats milk!!!!!

[ArtistWoOoOo]

ooh im becoming soo hungry!!

[Imhappywithsanta]

hmmmmmmmmm that was so good i followed your instructions and it came out good thanks for sharing this video

[stickitupyourasteric]

@Imhappywithsanta  was it better tasting then processed?

[xHighallTimesx]

this guys should do voice over work for everything.,

[theLoralei]

where do u get the cheese salt from? please..

[AustinHomebrew]

@theLoralei You can find everything in the video by clicking the link in the video's description

[gary77777778888888]

@AustinHomebrew Was that pasturized? Or was it raw milk?

[AustinHomebrew]

@gary77777778888888 It was pasteurized but NOT ultra pasteurized.

[gary77777778888888]

@AustinHomebrew How can i find if its ultra pasteruized or not? and can i use viniger as a substitute to make the cheese seperate from the way insted of the other stuff? Also if you used whole milk will it yield more cheese? Sory for all the questions.

[AustinHomebrew]

@gary77777778888888 It will say on the label. I have no idea about substitutes. You will have to research that on your own. This is exactly how to make the mozzarella kit from Austin Homebrew Supply. Yes, whole milk will yield the most cheese.

[gary77777778888888]

@AustinHomebrew Thanks.

[ishkabang]

omg that looks good

[Saru166]

it is a must to heat ...or can we heat in something other than microwave????????

[AustinHomebrew]

@Saru166 Sure you can use the double boiler method (a pot within a pot on the stove)

[Saru166]

@AustinHomebrew thx ^^ 

[ov3rcl0cked]

Once you have drained the whey, cool it and kneed it till its shiney, don't add salt to it, but rather fill a container with salt water and let it sit in the salt water to brine over night.

[AustinHomebrew]

@ov3rcl0cked Yes that is another option but you don't have to.

[roneddy]

3:46 enjoy :)

[pabloVEVO]

and after 10 years i thought mozarella grew from trees

[darktreason]

@pabloVEVO LMFAO

[randomdude7272]

what dark magic is this!?

[ourperfectsoul]

the cheese gods are mad .. authentic cheese should never be sacrificed for fast cheese . no more microwaving please :( 

[AustinHomebrew]

@ourperfectsoul Or the cheese gods are happy that anyone can now make it fresh at home instead of overpaying for mozzarella at the store...

[ikarockz]

Oh God. It looks good!!

[ikarockz]

Oh God. It looks good!! =D

[yodeling4otters]

Yum...Going to try, thanks for posting! 

[twinsru]

do you need the salt i hate salt
