Hanging question
« on: October 16, 2012, 06:19:13 PM »
What should be done if a recipe calls for curds to be hung for a certain length of time but say the curd-cutting didn't go to plan and broke up very small. Should I hang for longer? Does it make a huge difference?

I am guessing you would want to hang for a shorter period of time...smaller curds would result in more drainage. You might want to add some pressure for a short period to knit the curds together.

You didn't say what style of cheese you are attempting.
