P Roqueforti - A few questions

[Firkin]

I am doing some research on a future stilton I am going to try, most recepies say re-hydrate the P Roque for a couple hours before adding with the starter?

Question A - how do I rehydrate - measure out and let it thaw on its own, or mix into a cup of milk or water
Question B - Do I add it at the same time as the culture, and leave to ripen before adding rennet

thanks

Not necessary when using DVI/DVS culture systems. Add at the same time as you add your DVI starter and you'll be fine because it will rehydrate at the same time as the starter.
