Post by: Boofer on September 21, 2013, 05:24:23 PM
I figured the other Beauforts (#6, #7, and #8) in the cave need some company so...voilà!

Seriously, I really like this cheese style.

A few particulars for this make:

make began: September 12, 2013
initial pH: 6.59

4 gallons Pride & Joy Creamery whole raw milk
8 cubes of Alp D
1/16 tsp LH100
1/16 tsp Propioni shermanii
1/16 tsp dry calf rennet

ripened at 90F
floc factor: 3
floc time: 18 min

pressed under warm whey with 16 lbs to knit rind.

drained whey, pressed in pot with 1.9 psi.

continued to press, flip, redress, repeat until pH was between 5.3-5.4.

pH 5.43 - into brine for 6 hours, flip, brine for 6 more hours.

out to air-dry in its minicave.

9/14: dried & flipped cheese
9/15: dried & flipped cheese
9/16: dried & flipped cheese
9/17: washed with brine
9/19: schmiered with brine

The texture was good...very sliceable and good meltability. A little shy on salt level. I had been going a little short on brine time, but have since boosted it for subsequent cheeses.
