The process and notes look really good especially the pH.  This should be a good cheese.  In anticipation have one on me.   ;)

It's a lot better than the other I made. The acidification was a little better (faster) after curd cutting. Tryed some things different like less culture as you told me and less rennet. Here we can't find unhomogeneised milk so I used 0% milk and add enough crean to equilibrate to 3,6% like spoon did (seen it in his post). The coagulation time was long 69 min, don't know why.
