Dear Board members,
Still a newbee, asking a quote to a manufactory co for a cheese vat of
only 10 gallons, getting a quote back
of $15.000 dollars , I understand that cheese is expensive :)) this is
to me pretty stupid, again the monopoly
is kept for the big guys, by making the equipment redicilous
expensive, so we home brewers cannot compete
in any way pff. Just wondering about your ideas making a cheese vat,
saw some ideas in the group with
crockpots, are there any of 1 or 2 gallons?, anone has experiences
with crockpots ?
a cheese vat is not that difficult, only the materials are hard to
get, and ofcource the labour does the job....
I understood that it is a kind of double stanly steel wall, in which
between is water, heated by an electric element, controled by a
thermostate, basicly it could be a crockpot I guess :))
Any ideas advice, welcome.....
Also about my question about reculturing the p. candium molds, since i
am also a tempeh maker, I tried long time ago to make the tempeh yeast
from an excisting tempeh product ( fermentated soy bean cake), which
has also a white mold, and this worked fine for my for years, by
buying a tempeh starter for $6.00 , creating my own tempeh,
using this tempeh again for a " mother culture ", creating this way a
good starter ( from 1 package of 30 grams,
I have created kilos and kilos of starter, so it must be possible with
the right basic for the starter to do something like this with P.
Candimum ??
Regards,
Irma
