Thanks for the help, and yes I meant TA 061.... According to the package, 125 DCU weighs 28.2 g., which is 4.4 DCU per gram.... The TA 061 weighs 0.55 grams for 1/4 tsp. so that is 2.4 DCU... What I was concerned about is how the manufacturers recommendation for 100L batches relates when scaled down to less than 10 L.... With the recommendation for TA 061 being 1.25 - 2.50 ICU per 100L for Emmental, I would assume that if I go with the maximum of 2.5 DCU / 100L and scale that back to 8.5L I should be OK?.... That works out to 0.21 DCU, which is only 0.05 grams, which is less than 1/32 tsp....
For the LH 100, the spec sheet says 0.1 - 0.5 DCU in 100L for a cooked cheese, and the package I have is 50 DCU and weighs 25 g., so 2.0 DCU per gram.... However, the LH 100 is a lot more dense, 1/4 tsp. weighs 0.98 grams, so that is almost 2 DCU.... If I go for the maximum, for an 8.5L batch I only need 0.04 DCU, which is about 0.02 grams....That is about 1/200 tsp....
These amounts seem incredibly small, compared to using a packet of NEC Thermo, which contains ST, LH and LBB....
Caldwell's chart for 2-4 gallon batches says 1/8-1/4 tsp. of TA 061 and 10-50% of that for the LH 100.... Based on that, I was thinking 1/8 tsp. of TA 061 plus 1/16 tsp. of LH 100, and a 10 min. ripening time.... What do you think, am I way over, and what would be the result if I did that?....
