rennet substitution advice please

[tashad]

I am visiting at my mom's house, and she has made arrangements for some fresh goat milk for me while I'm here.  We planned for this, and I brought supplies and equipment for making a couple of cheeses.  lol, I even brought my smallest wine cooler so we'd have a cave.  But I forgot the rennet.  My mom has a few mad millie rennet tablets in the freezer.  Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to use them for a semi-lactic cheese that would only use a drop or two of liquid rennet?  I assume that I would dissolve it in water and then use that, but I have no clue as to the tablet:water ratio, and then how much of that to use for a gallon of goat milk.  Any thoughts, or suggestions?

I just now realized that I put this in the wrong section when I came to update it.  In the end I didn't end up using the rennet tablets.  The person that I was getting the milk from gave me a bit of calf rennet and I used that.  This was my first time using milk that didn't come from the supermarket, and my first time using goat milk.  Never have I had such glorious curds!  I was blown away by how that milk behaved.  I want to work with milk like that all the time.  Lol, I can't, but I can dream about befriending people with goats and cows that need someone to 'dispose' of milk for them.

Welcome to raw milk cheeses, once you have made them, you will never want to go back!

Hi Tashad LUCKY YOU!!! Gosh I hope I can find someone in the future who has raw milk to give away! Either that or I'll be raising goats when I buy a property.
