Hi I am new at making cheese and bought a beginners Hard Cheese Kit from the New England Cheese Making Supply Co. I want to try the farmhouse cheddar but the recipe is for 2 gal. of milk and I want to make much more than that, like 6 gallons. Can I just triple the recipe? Also I learned from a friend how to make Tomme with pvc cheese molds and she never uses cheese cloth. Why does most recipes say to use cheese cloth?
Any advice would be great.
