6lb Asiago
« on: July 11, 2012, 10:07:30 AM »
I have made one other wheel of Asiago and it got rave reviews so I made a large wheel a couple of days ago.  It came out of the brine yesterday evening.  I snapped a shot of it this morning after the surfaced had dried.

How many gallons did you use to get 6lb of cheese? also what are the dimensions of your mold?
just for a comparison of what I have been using  :)
very nice looking cheese, I believe you deserve one ^-^

I used 6 gallons of skimmed raw jersey milk from our cows.  Then I noticed that I was supposed to use full fat milk so I added 2 quarts of the cream I just skimmed back to it.  The final cheese weighed 6.37lbs.  I used a 8.25" diameter Tomme mold.

For further comparison.  I made a colby yesterday using 6 gallons of milk and the cheese is only 5.5lbs roughly.
