We only bothered to save a gallon of it this time, though we started with 2 gallons of milk. You can also farther render the whey to get ricotta, but it has to be done within 3 hours. We have instructions to build a cheese press, but we are not up to it yet.Pirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327243109568460697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3963892505582940622.post-68335720594045860982008-12-10T12:57:00.000-05:002008-12-10T12:57:00.000-05:00No, the car batteries are good.

Please update us on how you wax it and how it turns out!Lynnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889190591596568509noreply@blogger.com
