I have the day off, but it is cold and rainy. So I decided to make some cheese with the "this and that's" in the fridge. Here is what I have put together:
1/2 gal+ whole milk
1 qt cultured buttermilk
1 pt+ half/half cream
1/2 cup yoghurt
1/2 cup of frozen culture from red-rind stinky cheese
renent
I am treating it kind of like a Reblochon. I will heat to 95F, then go for about 60 min on curd set, then will stir on and off for 30 min or so. After that into the mold. Maybe a very light press with a couple lbs for the afternoon.
I plan to wash it with some homemade apple cider that I have already spiked with B. Linens (using on another stinky right now).
So, what do you think this will be? With that much buttermilk and cream harm anything? Although I have already started, I still welcome any suggestions or criticisms. It might be a waste, but its a good way to waste time on a rotten day, and I figure it will be at least eatable, maybe really good.
