Which B linens
« on: November 26, 2017, 05:05:15 PM »
Which one do you prefer and why?  LR, SR-3, ARN, PLA, FR22
Somewhere, some long time ago, milk decided to reach toward immortality… and to call itself cheese.

It depends on what you want it to do. Here is where I buy mine and a description of the differences.  I tend to lean toward SR3 for Taleggio and Epoisses but have used the PLA for Muenster. 

Here are two pictures of the results of the two.

I've used PLA in a lot of my semi-soft, semi-hard, and hard cheeses. I like the protection and results it gives to the cheese. Very consistent. Also, instead of trying to guess what combination of rind & paste development cultures will work, PLA is "one stop shopping" that provides a proven solution.

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