Title: MOZZ: Any way to restart the acidifying? Does it ever stop?
Post by: Groves on August 08, 2010, 05:11:23 PM
Jersey milk

Yoghurt starter

Liquid rennet


Great curds, everything looked great.

Waiting on ph to drop so it will stretch.

Waiting.

Waiting.

Still won't stretch.

After 6 hours I put it in the fridge for overnight. Still no stretch in the morning.

What do I need to do to allow the acidifying to continue?

I didn't give an exact play by play, of course.

Everything was kept at 95 initially, then after the curds healed we took it up to 115F

I keep my mozz curd at room temp overnight (usually about 12-16 hours) before attempting to stretch a small amount of curd in hot water (about 150 degrees Fahrenheit).  That's as long as room temp means between 65-75 degrees.
