Sour Cream/Buttermillk - Freeze Dried Starter Cultures?

[BigCheese]

Hi all,

I've been away from this forum and cheesemaking for quite some time, and it seems that will continue, but I need a quick tip on making some buttermilk with the cultures I have on hand. I thought I had some Aroma B, which I always loved for buttermilk, but I dont. What I do have is:

LH 100
MA 11
Meso II

What would be best to use for buttermilk and sour cream. More than flavor I am looking for good consistency (thick sour cream and thick, pourable buttermilk).

Thank you in advance!

meso 2. Or mix both of the mesos together.

Thanks, Pav! Worked like a charm. How are things going for you in Ukiah?
