Thanks, John & John
I used raw cow's milk that I pasteurized at home, 30 min @ 62C/144F.
Cooled the milk to 25C/77F, added 60 gr/2.12 oz of kefir and let it ripe for one hour.
Heated the milk slowly to 30C/86F, added the rennet and let it set for 90 min, then cut the curd, let it heal for 10' and heated very slowly (it took 30 min) to 36C/97F stirring occasionally. Kept the temp for 15 min and drained in my piece of old t-shirt (yes, I had washed it before
). Then tied the cloth with a string and pressed for 15 min with 4 Kg/9 lb each side, and then 6 Kg/13 lb for 9 hours. Brined the cheese in a 20% brine made with the whey for 8 hours.
That's all, it is just a try I figured would work, based on what I read on this forum.
