Quick question: for washed rinds, what's the ratio of b.linens to water? Caldwell says add linens to salt water or cells will rupture but doesn't specify how much linens to add.

Thanks all!

I personally don't use linens powder, all of my cheeses get linens whether I encourage it or not, although it took a bit to get to this point. But if you want to be absolutely sure, and add it, then a small pinch in whatever water you have should suffice. If you follow Alpkäserei's instructions, though, you should get it.

Generally 1/16 teaspoon (pinch) b.linens to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water.  This wash should be good for 2 weeks or 3 at most.
Then you will need to make fresh.

I should have said  1/16 teaspoon B. Linens into 1 cup of 3% brine MADE WITH NON-CHLORINATED WATER.
