Hi guys,
Trying to make some mozzarella. I don't want to go and buy a bottle of purified water. Can I just sub the water for the milk (that I will be using for the cheese)?
Thanks,
Trayushman
The amount of rennet compared to the milk used to dissolve would be so high that may cause the mixing milk to coagulate instantly. I don't think you can do that. Do you have bottled water?
Thanks
Just boil some tap water and let it cool to room temp before you use it ^-^
You can also add a little bit of milk to the water to react against the chlorine. Just enough to make it a bit cloudy. Chlorine will react with the protein of the milk and oxidize. Once used up there should be nothing left.
Thanks
Thanks guys! Ended up schlepping over to 7-11 and picked up a bottle of purified water there....Still screwed up the mozz tho :/

Welcome to the "I screwed up my mozz" club Trayushman ;). You're one of MANY members here. Took me 5 tries to get a result I was hoping for. Your time will come.

This is what I do as well and it works great.
