Homemade goat cheese

[Diego Sanchez]

I have a question for any cheese makers out there. I was making homemade goat cheese last night and let the whey and curds sit out over night. One website told me to do this. Not sure if this is ok. I also had to reheat the milk a few times because curds were not forming. Are there any health risks that i should be concerned about?

Thanks!

If the temperature where the cheese is stored is 72 degrees or less, you are OK. If mor,there could be a problem.

Was your rennin relatively fresh and kept in the frig? Was your starter expired?

I didn't use any rennet. i used apple cider vinegar to separate curds and whey.

You are going to drain the curds in cheesecloth? Or pack them in a mold? If anything, you probably pasturized the cheese some more.
