    I soooooooooo appreciate this information. Far too many people tell you that you have to use an acid such as vinegar or lemon juice and rennet. Go figure, I can "cut the curd" without rennet! This is wayyyyyyyyyyyy more practical!!!! I set my raw milk out as you said and sure enough it became firm and gelatinous. Now I'm heating it on low flame after cutting the curds and need to remember the next step!

    Awesome! I'm home with Mom at the moment and she LOVES cottage cheese. I thought I'd see how you could make it at home, and this was a great demonstration! Its impressive how you use all of the components of the raw milk to make different things. Will this technique work with pasteurized milk, or only with raw milk? What do you like to do with the whey? :)

    Thank you for this video. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I think you said you used a gallon is that right? You didn’t end up telling everybody how many cups of cottage cheese was produced in the end even though I know it’s healthier. I still want to know how much is going to cost me and how much I get.and then I’m assuming you saved the buttermilk? For other things? How much buttermilk did you get. And my last question is did you say you strained all the creamy fat off the top of the raw milk before you did this?
