Title: rennet strenth
Post by: Tar on July 01, 2010, 08:44:52 AM
hi cheesemakers!
with us "normal" rennet is 1 : 10000 but you can find 1 : 5000 or 1 : 20000......
mining that one unit of rennet makes 10000(5000 or 20000) units  of milk in clean brake courd in 40 minutes.
Some recepis use " double strenth"?  :-\
What is "normal" in states?
Please don't tell me that is 1/2 of double strenth.....

Single is 1:15,000. Double is 1:30,000. Both are "normal". Double is used often because it's cheaper.

Usually it's labeled. If it's not, try to check with the manufacturer. Tough to assume the concentration because there are many companies that make rennet.

When I say this thread I got all excited because I just read this information in American Farmstead Cheese. But, nope, Linuxboy was already on the scene.
