Oh man, buckaroo. I opened up Hive today to see what was going on, and what's going on is the single best thing I've found on here in months, maybe longer.

Is the process the same with cow's milk? I have access to plenty of raw cow's milk, and my clan -like yours- loves cheese the most of all foods. Actually, the raw milk co-op I've been running for like three years is still going strong. I just poured five gallons for my family and one other a few minutes ago.

Do you prefer vegetable rennet or animal rennet? Have you noticed a difference in them if you've used both? I think the veal and cheese markets go hand in hand with a good dairy operation. Eat the young bulls and make yummy cheese with the rennet, keep the young heifers to grow the operation and cycle out older cows. The regenerative effect of a well managed animal herd is inspiring.

As for being vegan besides cheese, that makes me thank God even more for cheese. Definitely one of the best foods, and to be able to make it at home is a real gift. Thanks for sharing this today!
