Homemade mozzarella

[yumyumyogi]

Does anyone have a good recipe for homemade mozzarella that WORKS? I'm writing on behalf of my husband who works on a farm with excess organic raw milk. He's made a few batches, but they've all turned out rock hard. He's got good technique so I'm thinking he just needs a good recipe.

i think more than recipe you should find someone who does it and learn from them. basics aren't hard. its just rennet/pulling the curds in boiling water. from my understanding its just an art form, over working the curds is like overworking a dough and get tough cheese. you have to know when its ready.

he could be overworking it which can create tough cheese

but also could be the final pH it sounds (haven't tried testing this)
