first swiss, lower yield than Manchego

[jrhockey33]

My first Baby swiss. Much smaller yield than the manchego last week which got me 2.1 lbs on 2 gallons. Guessing since this was cooked so much hotter for curd temp it expels more whey so less weight....
Can't wait to watch to see if it swells!

If you used the same milk, I would think something else is going on here. If you used sheep's milk for the manchego you can expect a much bigger yield, but if you used cow's milk for both, I think the yields should be similar.
I got a very small yield once when my thermometer was out of calibration. I'm sure there are other factors also.
