Title: CaCl2 in Brine
Post by: bansidhe on August 24, 2021, 02:49:01 PM
If one reuses one's brine, how does one know if more CalCl2 is needed?  Or does CaCl2 never really get depleted?

AFAIK, the CaCl2 ends up in balance.... It is added initially, just so that Calcium doesn't leach out of your cheese....
