recipe that I use:

for 2 gal. of raw milk:
Start at 91 F, ripen for 30 min with:
   Geo17  - 1/16 tsp
   MM100  - 1/16 tsp
   TA060   - 1/18 tsp

Rennet:  1.9 ml in 1/8 c. cool water
     Target floc = 20 min   pH 6.7

Cut:  1/2 in. , let rest 5 min.   Stir 10 min.
 
Scald to 91 F,  Stir 15min (30 - 32 min total)   pH 6.6

Take off 1/2 whey, then ladle into moulds lined w/ cheesecloth.  Flip and turn after 1/4 hour, again at 1/2 hour.  Remove cloth at second turn.  Keep moulds at 81 F for 2-4 hurs with 3 lbs weight (1 qt water).

Drain overnight.  Next day, brine for 2 hours.  Allow to dry, then to trays @ 95% RH.
Wash day 2 with light brine containing a pinch of b. linens, the 3x /week for 2 - 3 wks.  Then turn daily and wipe with light brine only if needed

Day 5 cheese surface should be sticky (yeast)
Day 7 geo growth coming on
@12-14 days no wash, just wipe molds down and flip daily

Ripe in 45 - 60 days  (my last batch was quite ripe at 44 days)

Also as suggested here (and I think this is a very good suggestion), use a small spray of candidum solution toward the end of the affinage to get the dusting we are looking for!!

--and enjoy....   Sue

Thanks so much. I was surprised to see you press it at all. And now I have to start learning all about pH. darn.

Hi Sue,

Great looking cheese, congrats.

What is your floc multiplier? Does that 20min in total?

Target Floc  13 x 1.5 (multiplier) = 20 min. total

Also I meant to add, that the post-molding pH should be 6.45 (end of hour 3)
After hour 6, it should be 5.5
After hour 9, it should be 5.4
At 12 hours, it should be 5.3

Thanks Sue,

Now I can make this cheese (when I have time of course).

Good!  It's a pretty quick cheese to make, relatively speaking.

I plan to make reblochon very soon but I don't have raw milk. Would you suggest any different method for using past/homo milk?

I don't know about the pasteurized/homogenized milk..... I think that overall it takes a bit longer for each step.... don't quote me! 
I'd be interested to know what kind of results you get!!  I have a couple of oversized Reblochons that will be done in a few days, I'm going to photograph them.  I think they're the best yet.

Now that I have a source for raw milk, what is the yield for this recipe? I have four 5" reblochon molds that I got from Glengarry. I'd like to make a batch to fill them all

You'll need 2 gallons of milk, Mark--just cut my first last week and it was really good--everyone loved it. Such a quick aging cheese. I added the P.cam to the milk, and will spray it on the next batch--as you can see, I got more mold than I think is what we're looking for in a Reblochon.

Actually, I used 3 gallons, just in case. I had a few camembert molds handy in case there was extra curd, but with that amount I filled my 4 reblochon molds perfectly. It was such a quick make! Started at 9am after the milk was warmed, and flipped the first time in the mold at 11am. I'll start its own thread when I get everything squared away.

Maybe it is a stupid question, but do you need a cheese press for this?

Thank you very much in advance!

No such thing as a stupid question hon! No you don't need a press for this I juts set a glass of water on top for a bit to smooth out the cheese. Actually I don't even use a press for cheddar - I use large buckets of water of #10 cans of food.
