Würchwitzer Mite Cheese – You’ll love it almost as much as the critters clinging to the rind
This week’s Listener questions are from the following curd nerds;
- Elaine wanted to say hello as she just joined my mailing list,
- Walt had some issues with what is known as Butyric late blowing caused by a bacteria called Clostridium tyrobutyricum. For more information on how to prevent this using Lysolac click here. You can buy Lysolac at this link; https://amzn.to/2v48tsp. Use this dosage chart for how much Lysolac to add to your milk; http://lysolac.com/LYSOLAC_dosage_chart.pdf
- Adam wanted to know if cheese ages better naturally or vacuum packed, and
- Randy wants to make a very large cheddar for a wedding cake cheese tower for his wedding.

I left a comment on the Brick Cheese 3 week update episode – looking to buy the red plastic containers with the drain plate – no luck finding them in the US so far. Amazon has some similar but too small. I’m a subscriber and receive all notifications and the e-mail newsletters. Thanks – Jeff Miller – Churchville NY USA
Hi Jeff. I know the ones you’re after, but you don’t need that one specifically. Any plastic tub with a couple of sushi mats on the bottom will provide the appropriate drainage required during maturation.
