Day 6 for crottins and day 4 mishap crottins and of course some chevre




These are the day 6 crottins drying out alittle from being in the fridge and growing some mold slowly, counting on these to enter into the competition. I am a nervouse wreck with the waiting to see if they turn out.
Day 4 for of the mishap crottins, they are turned and in the fridge hopefully they will dry out a little they seem a little slippery and you can see the wettness in the picture but it can be normal I just don't remember how wet the very first ones were. still not much GC growth but in the pictures it looks like there is some.









Made some chevre to and I guess I am doing to much because I forgot to mold it last night so it sat for an extra 8 hours which is ok, just grows a stronger taste I was told, didn't drain much whey before ladling to see if these would form together tighter. I think the lactation period of my goat milk is changing the composition of my cheeses, don't totally get the whole story on that but am working to remember. Just know it changes things. here is the chevre drying in their molds.
