So, we learned something interesting in our quest here and after I contacted Ajinomoto. Our failure in this experiment was in our calculation of the weight percentage for TG addition. We should have been calculating this based on the calculated weight of protein in the milk rather than the milk itself.

what do the tablets do, and can they be replaced by something else, i can't find the tablets anywhere.

@Iv0ntheterrible the tablets separate the curds from the whey - basically they cause the milk to curdle and separate. You can use Rennet, either animal or vegetable.

@Iv0ntheterrible: What vardy said.

Also, you can order them on Amazon along with many other places. Just google: Junket Rennet Tablets

There are a few kinds of rennet - animal, vegetable, powder/tablet, liquid, and hell they even make a recombinant gene rennet now - why? who knows!

i get my rennet at a supermarket that is an hour from where i live, because my town's supermarkets don't carry it either.
