Yippee! I have real equipment! But about the ph meter...

[Annie]

I tried to look up how to use the ph meter while making cheese as my book does not have the ph values I need to attain. My old (crummy) book has the wrong values for mozzarella, which I really need the ph meter for--I imagine I can find a recipe with accurate ones--but for my other cheeses?

I would probably be best off if I found out how ph affects the cheese, since I am currently making basic cheese (they're invading...) and branching into experimenting with timing, like they are softer if I do things a bit sooner?

A link would be fine; I probably just figure out the right way to search for this information.

Thanks so much

There are basic make chart guides in the library with ph values.

Thanks so much, Debi and DBudge D, that thread is full of information! It may take me months to figure out what it all means :LOL:

BTW .... I do not use a ph meter for mozzarella or any other cheese but some find it helpful.
