Title: Fourme d'Ambert - pH Targets
Post by: Hande on July 25, 2011, 04:32:37 PM
Hi,
I have plan to make raw cow milk Fourme d'Ambert.
Can I use Stiltons ph markers for that ?  renneting 6.45 / drain 6.0 / brine 4.6 .

The acidity at renneting should be a drop of around .1 pH. So, if your milk starts at 6.65 you should rennet at 6.55, etc.

Thank you Sailor.
Ok, renneting after .1 drop.
How about drain is it 6.0 ok or pit earlier ?

Fourme d'Ambert is a little sweeter with less of an acidic aftertaste than Stilton. So, I drain Fourme d'Ambert at 6.1-6.2 and hoop at 4.8-4.9.

Did you mean salt at 4.8-4.9?
Or does it require somekind of cheddaring process\pot acidification im unaware of?
