So...I've tried twice now and haven't been able to make a clean break.
First time, I used whole milk from the store and added the calcium chloride when adding the buttermilk culture.
I'm not sure if that was the right step or not...but for the next round I bought some fresh raw milk from a local dairy.
The first odd thing, I had a clean break after the inoculate! Is that normal? I mean, even before I reheated the next day to add the rennet there was a clean break.
Then after I added the rennet...am I supposed to keep it on the burner for the 1-2 hours while the rennet is working...or am I supposed to take it off?
Thanks!
