Title: Hello from new jersey
Post by: oldhead on July 15, 2017, 10:48:24 AM
Wanted to say hi and ask one question. I'm more of a browser than a poster. I will be making my second batch of farm house cheddar today. The other one is dried, waxed and in the wine fridge I bought to store cheese. Now on to my question. I plan on making a traditional cheddar but can't find a recipe for my big mold (4 gallon recipe). Do I just double the 2 gallon of milk recipe? I want to use the bigger mold since the traditional is a lot more work. I bought the small and large molds figuring I'd cut my teeth on each new cheese recipe with the small one and then make a large to age longer.

Yes, basically just double the recipe. And welcome to the forum!

 Welcome to the forum, since my first cheese I have changed the recipe according to the amount of milk I use, so far so good.

Welcome to the forum.  My guess is you will be a "prolific poster" as time goes on.  Just remember to post pictures ;)!
