and sorry this isn't my 17th Caerphilly - 17th is the date I made it -sorry for the over stating of my cheese worthiness

Wait, so you heat it up to that temperature and just let it sit at that for 45-90 minutes?? Or are you just saying that's how long it's supposed to take to heat up?

Until further notice I'm skipping this step - unless you can get back to me within the next half hour or so.

yep !

This was
Heat milk to 30 Deg C and maintain for 45-90 minutes – now this is quite a range due to the reduced rennet am opting for the longer period of about 60 minutes.

What does this do?

It's the ripening period - maybe I've got the sequence out of order - i'll check

Oh I see what I've done.. silly me !!

Mal:Edit I was commenting as I was typing the method from the book - Doh!  – now this is quite a range due to the reduced rennet am opting for the longer period of about 60 minutes.  Sorry for the confusion.

I'm an Idiot !!!

I hope I haven't mucked up your cheese ??   

That's a great looking caerphilly Mal!  A cheese to you. 

Like I said, I skipped the proto-step? I just brought it up to the temp and ripened it for 60. I think that's what you're saying is correct.

@Stinky, Yeah sorry about that - ripening time 60 minutes..  BTW how did it work out in the end ?

I too am looking forward to that one Al, you making that in two pots?? 

Yes I am.  Started about an hour ago.  Taking lots of pictures and making notes. LOL

Gunna crack this open today - its about 7-8 weeks old so this is about the right time.  There are a couple of really small cracks but they were there before I upgraded to Cave MKIII.

I'll post cut photos later

Looks great Mal.  Looking forward to the results.
