    Thank you so much for making this video! Ive been so scared to let anyone try my first cheese I made using your course in February. It had some late blowing but smelled really good. I was feeling much more confident after watching this and let my husband sample the cheese last night. He said it was delicious and so far he's not sick or dead lol. Thanks Kate!

    Oh the contamination ptsd.... I was doing everything right. but after 6 cheeses I was so so scared. Then my husband suggested it may be the culture I was using, so I made two cheeses, an alpine and a cheddar and the cheddar was contaminated but the alpine was not. Apparently my mesophilic culture had gone bad but my thermophilic was good.
    Now I use your recipe for clabber culture and the cheeses turn out amazing. :)

    Wow the top shelf in the fridge, if that was my fridge I'm sure the shelf would collapse. Looks so good.

      Yes, it's a worry that the shelf will collapse!! Worth it for all that cheese!

    Kate, friend - I am behind on watching videos. I learn SO much from you. We’re moving house soon, but, once we’re moved I’ll be starting some sourdough and (dare I say I 😅) some simple cheese.
    Thankful for you, always! ❤ xo

      That's exciting to be starting your sourdough journey! You will rock that cheesemaking once you get started. As with most things it's just getting over that first hurdle. You got this!

    I highly recommend the mastitis test cards that turn blue if positive, yellow is good and green is in between. I use them on my sheep and can use them to catch mastitis early. ❤

Even when I'm not busy (HA as if) I find myself wandering around just puttering, always something to look at on the homestead. Anyway love your videos, many blessings to you and your family!

    Thank you Kate! Great video! Is your cheese stored in a regular fridge or do you have it temp controlled to be warmer?

    • @VenisonforDinner

      Our cheese is stored in a regular fridge. I do try to have it a bit warmer but it's hard to control that.

    I’ll probably never make cheese but this was very informative. I do have a question tho-if it happens to be contaminated what do you do with it! Can you feed it to the animals or is it just trash? 😊

  • @amandaw30
    @amandaw30 Рік тому

    Great video! What is your take on a staph a cow (that isn’t showing clinical signs)? Instant cull? Also if you have coliform or yeast contamination and you shrink wrap the cheese, do the holes stay or would the cheese compress back down?

    • @VenisonforDinner
      @VenisonforDinner  Рік тому

      If you have other cows in milk and can't keep them separated, then yes I would cull. Otherwise I would use Synergy Animal products.
      Coliform - it would just keep blowing up. Yeast would likely compress back down.

    If I am bleaching my milk machine 1- 2 times a week do I still need to do an acid wash? If so what do I get and where?

    • @amandaw30
      @amandaw30 Рік тому +1

      It’s my understanding that the bleach won’t remove the milk stone build up like acid but it will kill the bacteria hanging out in it if you use it everytime before milking. You can buy acid wash and it is diluted with water for a soak or you can use straight vinegar which is the same ph, just much more expensive to get everything fully immersed.

      I use starsan
      Mix 2 mls in a 32 oz spray bottle
      Works great!

    • @ShannonSonriseFamilyFarm
      @ShannonSonriseFamilyFarm Рік тому +1

      Also- I ordered it off Amazon :) I use a milk stones remover as well- but the acid wash is what will clean the best. I just bring the claw and hoses into the house in the bathtub and spray it in the lines

    • @VenisonforDinner
      @VenisonforDinner  Рік тому +1

      Bleaching does not get rid of milk stone build up so you still need to occasionally acid soak to get rid of milk stone. Which can be as simple as taking everything apart to find any hidden places and soaking in hot water with lots of vinegar.
