Simple Beginner Cheese Making

Blessed are the Cheese Makers!

Visit http://www.BrewGarden.ca for more fun in the kitchen!

After watching and reading about cheese making, I decided to give it a try on my own. This is a super simple beginner cheese that I made. It used only 4l of milk, some lemon juice (or vinegar) salt and rennet. The result was a 400g wheel of cheese that only took an hour from beginning to end!

Thats coooooooool but what is rennet?

[darrenfoulds]

You might want to sit down for the answer, @strangerlover11 Rennet is made from enzymes found in cow stomachs. All mammals have these enzymes, which are used to digest their mother's milk. Anyway, thats the answer.

If you were asking, where do I get some? You can get rennet tablets at some grocery stores. As well, you'll find it online. Take a look on a Home Brewing shop's website, that's where I found mine.

I live in an extremely rural area, surrounded by rednecks, and I'd be hard pressed to find renne in any form, unless of course they use it to make meth, in the case of which there's probably somebody selling it behind the dollar store, so, where would I find renne? I suppose I could find it in carbondale, it's about the closest place with any culture, but the question is, what kind of store would sell such a thing? PS,I"M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!!!!!

@darrenfoulds I leaned from a East Indian cookbook. I take a container of yogurt and put it in cheese cloth. I tie it up and hang it up over the sink overnite. I add chives to mine :)
