Friday 7-March 14L raw milk i transformed it to one BIG mozzarella ball , i stretch it and work it on piece, it was so fun , 3 pounds or so of melted mozzarella , i enjoyed working it ...  i wish i had pictures or video for u guys, but it looked like the attached picture (this pic from internet, i tried to work it as this picture and i managed) , very funny… it was heavy as it stretched by its own weight

no just give it good time, and do not rush to working it out, test piece of curds every 20mins, until u get from long easy stretching

first stage , it will not stretch pH over 5.4
then it will start stretch but not so much between pH 5.3 to 5.2
then it will stretch more and more 5.2 to 5.0
then it start to not stretch and become brittle bellow pH 5.0
