What are the odds?
« on: December 10, 2020, 04:19:09 PM »
I captured something useful?
I started making butter Monday, from rather over -soured raw cream. It didn't break, and I forgot it in the mixer bowl till now. It has developed a beautiful white carpet on the surface.
Could it be PC or Geo? How would I know? I would love trying to make a few bloomies, but the starter price has always been a bit of a shock.
Anyway, I have lots of milk, I think I'll save some of the carpet and inoculate a couple small cheeses. See what I get!

Should be Geo - it will show up on just about every batch of acidified dairy that is left out.
You can scrape a rind from a store bought Camembert/Brie but if you want consistent results I highly recommend purchasing some Pen C.
