H-K-J's #5 5 gallon Stilton
« on: March 16, 2014, 09:27:45 PM »
Made another Stilton using Raw milk and 3 pints pasteurized heavy cream.
Not to happy about the volume of cheese I got out of $45. of milk and cream, I have had better from whole pasteurized.
anyway the make went well. made a few changes to this one (as usual).
I think/hope this one will have more veining when its done, used some new PR-PV, added just a titch more than usual :o
we will see how blue it is in 3 to 5 day's.
didn't take many pix, just for you who want to see.

Looking good. Just in the process of making 2 stiltons out of 3 gallons of milk unfortunately not unpasteurized not allowed here.

My other two that I made a month ago seem to be ageing well this time thanks to your help and Caldwells book  :D

Should have some great bluing with all if those great crevices in there.  I REALLY need to do another 6 pounder.  I love the stuff.

very nice looking so far thanks for the photos. If you don't mind, would you share the height, and diameter of your stainless steel cheese mold? I have a similar stainless steel mold and wonder if I could use it for a 4 or 5 gallon make.

I wonder what happened to a reply to your question I put here this morning?
anyway the hoop is 9" tall and 6" diameter.
I smoothed this up this afternoon, turned out very nice. like I said at the first we didn't get the volume as we had before.
it is a 1/2# light and an inch short compared to previous makes, lots of PR growing crevices though. it will be interesting to see how the interior
turns out this time :)
