"Brie" like President brand stabilized

[Tomer1]

I don't think I've seen anyone do a Brie here

Most likely for several reason :   
1.Doesnt fit most ripening boxes
2.Needs a spaciality ring\mould which cant be used for any other cheese but brie.
3.Takes alot of space
4.Very fregile when mature.
5.wighs 1.5-2 kg\wheel.  Who could eat that much brie in one sitting?

You don't have to make a big wheel of Brie.  I see small wheels of Brie in the stores all the time.   They are the same size as a Camembert and packaged in the same small sized box.

I think a normal Tomme mould would allow for a decent Brie. The follower would help in the flipping. Very do-able.

I did a couple of Bries early on using a regular tomme mold.  Had I known what I was doing then, they would have turned out fine.  Instead, they taught me all about slip skin and over-ripening.

Just for your information in Australia there is no difference between brie and camembert - makers, large and small, use the terms interchangeably to refer to 'bloomy' surfaced ripened white mould cheese...

I found an interesting and lengthy article on the web, Brie or Camembert, that states that they are, in fact, the same thing except for size and where they are made.  AOC Camembert can only be so designated in France if it is made in a particular terrior around Normandy according to a strict process.  Brie is the same cheese, but made outside the terrior for Camembert and usually made in a larger size. 

So if you are making "Camembert" (knowing that it cannot be AOC Camembert unless you are doing it according to AOC rules in a specific area of France), then you are making Brie, and vice versa, save for the customary wheel size difference and location of production.

delta to rennet .1

Hey Linuxboy, i'm a newbie as well.
What does it mean?

[JeffHamm]

Hi,

delta just means change, so "change to rennet .1", and in the context, it would just mean wait until there is a Ph change of 0.1 and then add rennet.

Thanks so much, Jeff. Sorry, I get caught up in the lingo sometimes.
