unwittingly, i bought an acid titration kit in order to test ph...bear with me as i am still very new to all of this.  it came with (ne cheese making supply co) instructions for using it in a hard cheese such as cheddar, but i am hoping there is a way for me to use it in making mozzarella too.  can you point me to either a recipe for traditional mozzarella that i could use or a way to convert my titration readings into the ph readings that my recipe (ricki carrol's book) calls for?

The end point of cheddaring coincides with the end point for when you should check for a stretch test with mozz. The pH should be around 5.4 and the corresponding TA should be ~.53- .55. For cutting and whey drain TA targets, just follow the ones for cheddar cheese, adjusting as necessary for floc time and multiplier.
