Whey not to go for ricotta

Is there any whey that can't be used for ricotta?  Wondering about whey from brie that has been innoculated in the making process?

I don't see an issue with it. I think the high temperature will eliminate any culture 'contamination' you added for your brie.

I used whey innoculated for blue cheese for ricotta and it turned out great.

Different cheeses will give you different yields of ricotta.  I'd expect that the texture and flavor of the ricotta would be different, too, but I've never had a side-by-side comparison to test out that theory.

I've never had success with 30-minute mozzarella whey, but other people say they have.

Lol - I'm sorry, nothing substantive to help, but I was hooked by the thread title - I thought this was a play on words, as in "way to go, on blowing a ricotta make."  ;D

Ignore me.
