Quack quack(translation: hurry up!)

Ducks and chickens are anxiously awaiting for snacks after milking #milksheep #sillyducks #homedairy

I usually make this is in half gallon batches. It's super delicious, totally recommend to grab your nearest woolly companion and try it) (Inspired from the Home cheesemaking book) Quick Mozz 1/2 gal milk(2qts/1855g) 2.5g(1/2t) Citric acid powder dissolved in 1/2c cool water 1g liquid rennet diluted in 1/4c water(0.9 if you have a scale that goes that low) salt(sea salt/cheese salt) opt. *Quick tip notes: use the curds next day or within a few days, heat up the curds in a pot and continue on with your stretching & shaping your cheese, enjoy fresh, or frozen for longer term storage Today's yield was: 9oz/265g cheese

It's a mozzarella, but sheep! (Sparkles are a side effect of being in the presence of sheepies goodness) Recipe link in alt, also I made a video guide: youtu.be/laerijuS1QY

Very roughly written recipe: 2 gal sheep milk 1/2tsp rennet single strength 1/4c sheep buttermilk (cultured) 2 spoonfuls of sheep yogurt Mix cultures into milk, heat to 80f, add rennet, cut when ready into 1/2"cubes, slowly heat to 100f, stirring occasionally, set for 5 mins, bag curds, drain 1 hour, break curds up, salt, wrap in cloth, press, at 10lbs for 10 min, flip, redress, then 20 lbs for 1 hour, flip redress, press at 50 lbs for 10 hours, undress, salt, dry, wax, and age :)

Let's wax some cheese! My partner needed some fridge space, so I decided to whip up some cheese, decided on fresh sheep's milk cheddar, now it's ready to wax, and age:D (more info in the alt) #cheesemaking #homedairy #sheepmilk #milkalternatives #dairysheep #cottagecrafts

Woolly udder

Looking good

Dairy gurl getting ready

It's bigger than my head, and still not at full capacity

I love how you can see 24 hours how easy it is to compare each day, how much her udder is filling up, by her woolly part, meanwhile it's a bit hard to tell with my dairy girl each day, when it gets shiny, she's pretty much done tho. Do you milk your sheep? #sheepmilk #homedairy #lambingseason
