Making Homemade Goat Cheese, How Hard Can It Be? (Plus an update on Capri & the new chicks) 

i think a great idea and the person about the rennet being to much water I don't think you would have over looked the measuring of the water but if did hey be a problem also play with your drops!! being nervous 1st time maybe the drop could have been longer I watch 3 times and I would say the drops could have been bigger but still IT CAME OUT GOOD just needed a little more play and i think the water and the drops are IT

I have to agree with you. It's been fun to watch Brooke become more relaxed and having fun. I am living vicariously through her adventures!

Yes, I agree. She has gotten way more comfortable, and not so stiff now.

Agreed, always feel like she’s talking directly to me over here in the U.K. love this channel my little piece of heaven ❤❤❤

It was to add three drops to a third of a cup water. Then two tablespoons. Think she should weight to do that part until right before she adds it to the milk. It was setting while the milk warmed up and it deteriorated. ❤

I thought each jar of milk was2 quarts and I thought you poured in 3 jars which would be 6 quarts of milk. That would need more rennet for the extra quart. There is such a few ingredients that if it isn’t the buttermilk or the rennet then the technique must be flawed. Maybe try using a tighter woven cheesecloth or checking the temperature pen for accuracy. Good luck, happy you got better results!

@@DebbieSimmons-wl8wq 1 of the jars was only half a jar.

@@DebbieSimmons-wl8wq I thought this TOO so I rewatched really close and one of the jars was 1/2 full

I agree 3 drops of rennet to 2 Tablespoons of water. I think your yield would be better. ❤😊

with the pepper jelly, how good is that?

Yes

@@nan25girlsagreed

Was the milk too cold??

Haven’t any experience with chess making, but I thought the same thing. Something just a few degrees off when adding rennet to milk. Happy cheese adventures 🥰

I was going to recommend her to watch also. 😊

Hi Brooke, its the rennet ( animal or vegetable). Must be used within 15 minutes of mixing with water. After 15 minutes its deteriorates.

This is just my thinking, if 3 drops is good, 4 is even better😊

⁠🐨👍

I agree Cheese needs a friend.

And name it cheddar

That was the first thing I noticed was the leftover rennet water left in the bowl. She needs ALL three drops in the mix for that amount t of milk. Thank you for catching that.

Brilliant!

I think it’s because she mixed the rennet and water before❤ she started warming the milk. So it was setting there deteriorating for a while before she used it.

@@pamskyland4444 - I do that all the time with rennet - it does not affect the curing strength

Yes!! Make a Happy Thoughts board! That's something we all should do. 🥰😊😁

I agree with Jason, he needs an official Taste Tester t-shirt.

I agree. As a teacher myself, we call them "Smash Notes"! Makes one's efforts all worthwhile

I'm sorry to tag onto your Comment, but the YT Program will not permit me to do a Comment. Please forgive. 🙏🏼😢😊 BROOKE, A few ideas please: 1. Perhaps Capri's problems or health have something to do with your trouble making cheese. Even what they eat makes a huge difference! My brother always had to pull up & burn the wild onions & sour weed. If the cow ate any, we had to give it to the pigs. 🤣 2. As with all processing of things that become food, it involves the mystery & magic of CHEMISTRY. 😊 3. Danielle of YT Channel Weed Em and Reap in Phoenix, AZ has several recipes, & how-to videos of several types of goat cheese making. 4. Although it's cow milk, Hannah, on Ballerina Farm YT Channel, makes mozzarella cheese often. In each video, she offers several Tips for success. She is very cautious with the temperatures & timing of milk &the ingredients stirred in. You Might find something helpful. Y'all are simply Amazing. You live the dream that many of us can only precariously enjoy by enjoying your videos daily. Thank you for sharing your lives & experiences... & Knowledge, Tips, Shared Info that THOUSANDS CAN USE & BETTER THEIR LIVES. God bless you all. ❤️✝️🙏🏼🤗

@@carolynchadwick7867 no problem.

Or enlarge the hole on the sign, and/or get a hook that isn't so round. It pains me somewhat to watch everyone struggle with that process.

I'd put up a solar panel to keep a battery charged run an arduino that would use a strain sensor to tell if there's eggs in there or not. Then a screen would say no eggs or eggs. Is that too much?

Yes, she has wonderful tutorials.

I think the way of mixing in the rennet has something to do with it. Most tutorials I’ve seen they use a flat ladle with holes and try not to break the surface of the milk when stirring.

That goat cheese and pepper jelly sounds wonderful

😇 Me, too!! 🥰

Good name for his shirt.
