Milk, Cow - Different Fat%, Impact On Recipes?
« on: July 18, 2012, 04:44:53 PM »
I was looking through "Artisan Cheese Making at Home" by Mary Karlin and more than a few recipes call for 2% milk.  Since my end goal is to make cheeses for my granddaughter who has CF (and therefore needs ALL the fat she can eat) is it a pain to convert recipes from 2% to whole milk? Or is there a reasonably easy formula/way to experiment?

If it's a pain to convert them I'll buy another book that focuses primarily on whole milk recipes.

Thanks!

Just use whole milk instead.

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.
