i had an rdo yesterday and i thought a perfect day to make a cheese i got the milk and thought i would make a colby so i warmed the milk transferred the pot to the water bath. im impatient when it comes to warming the milk so i do it on the stove its faster than the water bath put the messo starter in and went to wash my 3 small dogs while it ripened i forgot to check the temp of the bath i came back to it about 20 mins later to find it had heated to 50C i figured that wouldnt do the messo much good so when it cooled down i tossed in a couple of ice blocks of prepared buttermilk culture just in case i couldnt get a clean break but the rennet worked welland everything went smoothly after that except i raised the temperature slightly when cooking the curd and cooked it a little longer so0 now i dont know what cheese i made or how it will turn out so it will be a bit of a surprise if it turns out ok i dont think i will wax this one i might do a washed rind instead time will tell

im having a few granny moments lately

When the cheese turns out, and you like it, you’re going to have to change your story.  It should then be:  “I formulated a plan to modify a cheese recipe in hopes of accomplishing. . . .”  Now, doesn’t that sound much better?

thats it im a revelutionary

Or a trekkie - boldly going where no cheese maker has gone before.  In any case, enjoy it.

Always keep records no matter WTFups u did, u may want to repeat it.

i certainly will here is a photo it looks alright you cant ruin cheese too badly at least it will be edible at some stage

Very nice looking cheese their Heellloooo, (As I drool)

i have finally cut the noname it has a nice sharp taste and a bit holey but the texture is nice and smooth not a bad cheese considering i think it will go down quite well

I see a pretty substantial rind under that wax.  So apparently at some point you decided to wax after all.  Is your texture real moist like a Colby?  It appears that way.  And - is it enough to your liking that you will be doing another along similar lines?

nice noname one

Looks like a very nice cheese

rich

the texture is fairly dry and crumbly which is probably due to the accidental high temp more like a mature cheddar but a bit creamier noy so sharp
yes i will put it in my recipe book and make another. not a bad mistake after all thats what i love about cheesemaking
