New 16L Vat - with Sous-Vide Circulator

[Frodage4]

Beautiful setup!!  I bought a Gourmia about a year ago.  I don't use it to warm the milk but rather create a water bath for the warm phases of cheeses.  I simply set them in a bag and lie them on the water turning regularly.  Works great!

Clever!

I'm just starting out making cheese, and used my Joule and a stainless pot for my first batches of Quesa Blanco and Quesa Fresco.  I was very pleased with how well the Joule worked warming the milk in a way that I did not have to pay any mind to managing the heat.  I used two different pots. One that handled 1 gallon of milk, and the second that handled 2 gallons.  As a hobbyist, I think this will last me for a while at least   I use a cheap $4 plastic tub from Target for my sous vide setup and it works great.
