Title: Feta #1 and #2
Post by: Masterblaster79 on December 01, 2011, 12:53:54 AM
Hello all. Did my first feta almost 3 weeks ago, its the one on the right. Used the recipe from fias co farm, used one gallon raw cow and 1/2 gallon goat. Will try it in two weeks. The one on the left just went in brine tonight. Same recipe but with just goat milk and i used the whey for the brine. Got a little warm while i let the pieces firm up at room temp for three days and i got two tiny spots of blue mold on a couple of them! Just scraped the mold off and chucked in brine, hope will be ok!

I have a question. The pics below is of the feta on the right above. About 6 weeks old and very good! Ate three chunks so far! But a couple of days ago i noticed a milky substance coming off a few of them, sorta flouting a little above them but still attached! Do you all think contamination? Hope can meke out in pics!
