    Hello, I tried making cottage cheese from raw milk and it didn’t turn out. I looked into it and it said I needed to take the cream off. 🥲 Now I just have milk mixed with buttermilk (recipe I used to make cottage cheese) sitting on my stove. Idk what to do with it.

    I use a zip lock bag filled with water and put that in another zip lock bag as a safe guard from any leaks. I use cheese cloth over the top of my corn, a plate, and put the zip lock bag in last. Wrap well to keep flies out. Your recipe is what I use. Great recipe. Thank you for posting.

    I only have one milk cow, and she is a Jersey. They are known for having a higher fat percentage in their milk, aka cream 😋 So in my opinion, they make the best dairy products.

    How long does backsplash whey last? Can I keep it in the fridge for 2 weeks? Or does it work still if I freeze it? I didnt make cheese everyday, but every two weeks to a month. I'd love to save on buying cultures!! But I'm not sure if my backsplash whey will still be good. Thank you!

  • @DryHollowHomestead

    I would go ahead and freeze it. Two weeks is getting close to when it starts smelling off. If you freeze in 1/2 cup increments, it makes it nice to thaw just what you need.

    I have a question! If it is being heated to 195 wouldn’t it no longer be raw because pasteurization is around 160? I’m just curious I only eat or drink raw dairy and I was going to make the Ricotta for my wife because I figured it was no longer raw. She eats both raw milk and pasteurized cheeses.

    Is there a ratio of culture and rennet per gallon of milk, and is it the same across cheese types? The amount you used for 6 gallons would you use 1/3 less for 4 gallons, 1/2 for 3 gallons etc? Or is it more of a ballpark measurement?

    I just made the Farmhouse Cheddar and I posted a picture of it on a Facebook group. It had lots of holes and they said I should not eat it because it might be coliform and also because it was made with raw milk. I have consumed this source of raw milk for 35 yrs and never had a problem. I followed the recipe to the T! I used the backsplash whey from the previous one I made which looked exactly like this one. We ate it and had no problems. They also shut off comments so I couldn't ask any questions! Feeling defeated! Just wondering did yours have any holes? Mine looks like Deep South Texas 'Farmhouse."
