...deal with cheese?

[OvShit]

Hello.
I need a help of a cheesemaker, if that`s possible.
How do curding tubes work? You just fill them with milk and rennet and some units of curd appear? If yes, then what`s amount of milk and rennet needed for one unit of curd?

[Reimad]

While on the subject of cheese anyway, does the q of the cheese rack & tray matter for the quality?

[Potjeh]

1l of milk = 1 curd

2l of rennet are enough for a full tub of curd. You can put 3 in, but that will waste milk and rennet since the tub will overflow (ie the extra curd will disappear if there's no room in the tub).

Cheese trays softcap the cheese quality, ie if it's q is lower than their contents' q they'll lower the cheese q. Rack q is irrelevant.

You also want 2 buckets of milk to a curding tub (filled with 2 jars of rennet), I am told.

you can fill the tub to the max with milk if you want to wich is 10 full buckets of milk =100 liters, but as Pothje said put maximum two jars of rennet in the tub at one time unless you wanna stand all day and take curd out of it to make room, one jar will produce 10 curd 2 jars will produce 20 curd wich is maximum amount of space there is for the curd in the tub. that means if you fill it with 3 jars of rennet the last 10 curd will use up that rennet and the 10 liters of milk it requires but those overflowing curd will just disapear since there is no room for them, so to be safe never fill with more then 2 jars of rennet. just empty the 20 curd when the rennet is used up and reefill with 2 jars of new rennet, if you still have enough milk left in the tub that is.

I disagree.

From my experience curding tubs can take _exactly_ 3 l. If you over-fill it, the difference will remain in your jar. Also (not sure on this one but) if the tub is full, it'll stop generating curd, doesn't it?

[Potjeh]

It won't stop generating curd, that's the whole reason why it wastes milk and rennet (only 20 slots in the tub).

[TeckXKnight]

What's the point of the increased capacity then, if any? Why is it even possible to fill it with so much excess if it is exclusively bad to do so? Is this one of those things like hardened leather being able to be used to make hardened leather where it should be considered a bug but instead it's just a really annoying and pointless feature?

I suppose you could fill tubs to the brim with milk and use rennet as the control -- only putting 2l of rennet in at a time. That seems like a huge waste of milk though.

Well if you are around to take the curds out of the tub it can make sense to fill them completely. I usually fill the tubs on one day and get what is in them the next though, so I only fill in as much rennet and milk as it takes to produce 20 curds.
