Hi everyone !
I'd like tu understand why it is important to dilute the rennet in water before adding it to the batch please ? Many thanks ! ;)
To ensure even distribution of the enzyme in the milk as quickly as possible. 1:40 for single strength represents a good middle ground between adding too much water and not diluting enough.
:) Many thanks LinuxBoy !
By the way what do you mean by single strength ?
My rennet is FPC 145 IMCU/ml...
Thank you ! ;)
Single to me is US 1:15,000, ~200 IMCU/ml, per CHR Hansen's standard for chymax plus. The 1:40 isn't some rule, it's just good guidance for a suggested dilution factor.
Merci LinuxBoy ! :) :) :)
Avec plaisir :)
