Well my chevre has not been knitting together while it is draining in the molds. It had until about 2 weeks ago and they molded together somewhat but when you took them out they seemed to have settled in layers, still tasted great. So I have been researching and I don't think it is the goat milk being at the end of lactation she is at 5 months but I did just read about temperature being important in the knitting process and thinking about it it started when it started getting cool/cold at night 64-68 degrees inside so this batch I ladeled at 9 hours and the curds had hardly expelled any whey but them I read about the temperature and I will keep an eye on the temp while they drain for the night. It really startled me that hardly any whey was expelled after sitting for 9 hours that the 3 hours longer they normally sit would make a difference. I also used fresh direct set chevre starter.
