When we decided to get dairy goats I started researching what I can do with the milk. One of the first things that interested me was making cheese. My family is a BIG cheese eater. So when I finally had enough milk saved up in the freezer I decided to make Feta cheese since we eat Feta every week on salads.
First you need to heat up the milk to a certain temperature, this is where I think I went wrong because I had the wrong type of thermometer. I think I overcooked the milk. I went ahead and added the other ingredient, rennet which helps congeal the cheese curds.
This is what I got.
It was not suppose to look anything like this. So down the drain it went. There are many more steps to making cheese but I will explain those the next time I try to make cheese and it works. Knowing that my thermometer was the wrong kind I then went ahead and ordered a dairy thermometer from a Cheese Making Company for the next time I try to make cheese.
