I goofed again!  I added Calcium chloride to a Monterey Jack recipe and the curd will not cut, it's not solid.  It is more like the soft cheese that needs strained.  What can I do to fix this problem with 4 gallons of milk??

Thanks!!!

The calcium chloride should have made your curd firmer, not softer. How much rennet did you use, and how long has it been?

1 tsp double strength rennet mixed in 1/2 cup water
It has been sitting nearly 1 hour at 90 degrees.
