Hi!
I made one big wheel that was about 3-4Kg , & then 3 smaller wheels that's about 800g-1Kg.
Unfortunately I cut into the big one before knowing that's wrong, but that's a learning experience. I am curious to see what the en result will be though.
In the future, I think I'd rather make a couple of the smaller wheels than the big ones. I sell my cheese, so I guess it's mote practical to make smaller wheels that can be wrapped nicely and sold as such.
I am curious though, here in the shops Simonsberg sells brie cheese in triangles of about 300g. It has mold growth all around it. If the cheesa doesn't continue moldinh after it's cut, did they use triangular moulds then?
I'm thinking that when the cheese/curds needs to be turned over and over, the triangle's tip will propably break off.
I am busy making a 200L cheesevat from foodgrade stainless steel, as where I can only make 35L now at once. I think I'm gonna use the offcuts to make some interesting cheese moulds.
