LGC064 – Is Home Cheese Making Worth It?

13/04/2017 By Gavin Webber 1 Comment

During this episode, I reply to a statement that I often get on my YouTube channel that boils down to; is home cheese making worth it financially and does it contain chemicals and it would be quicker to go to the store and buy it?

I know what you’re thinking, but I replied anyway and broke down the statement into its three parts during this show.

LGC063 – Why Pasta Filata Cheese Stretches

06/04/2017 By Gavin Webber Leave a Comment

During this episode, I answer a question from St. Rain who wants to know why Pasta Filata cheese stretches?  They are intrigued that I didn’t use citric acid as I did in the quick mozzarella video to get the curd to stretch.

LGC062 – Starter Culture Equivalents

30/03/2017 By Gavin Webber Leave a Comment

During this episode, I answer a voicemail question from Diana who wanted to know how to tell the difference between the various brands of mesophilic starter culture equivalents.  For instance, is MO30 the same as MA11 or Type III Mesophilic? You may be shocked by the answer!  I also go into depth about the various properties of cultures and what to look for when looking for equivalents.
