Stirred Curd Cheddar is Whey Better

My Stirred Curd Cheddar is mutt better than the Jack cheese I made.  It helps when I don't leave the house while I'm supposed to be checking on the cheese.

Here it is in a slideshow:

 Heated 1/2 gallon milk in crockpot first

Then set it outside to stay warm (90F)

 Added my Calcium Chloride

Added mesophilic starter

Set 45min

 I did not even know that I had a cheese curd ladle.  

I thought it was for frying.

Added my rennet

Set 45min

 Look at that fabulous clean break!

  Cut the cheese

Curds a forming

Set, stir, heat, set, stir, heat, repeat for 1.5 hours!  That'd be why it's called Stirred Cheddar

Weights and waits 

It's so beautiful!

 unwrap, flip, wrap, weight, wait, repeat

Everything was all balanced and set.  A

As soon as I laid down for a break, I heard a cuh dunk.

Got my cheese jenga set back up and will sit for 24 hours.

Update:

It came out of the press beautifully.  Now waiting for it to dry.  Then wax, then wait...
