i recall i used 4 ml or so

teaspoon = 5 ml

i never count or measure, it is an eye color selection

Asa thumb rule, I put 1 drop/1 liter (quart), first ingredient before any other and stir thoroughly.

Alex, do not u add it to water before? actually 4 drops to gallons and mine 8 gallons = 32 drops .... anyone can help how much 32 drops equal to metric or english system ?

32 drops = X teaspoon ?
32 drops = Y ml (cm3) ?

0.04 ml / drop

so

20 drops = 1 cm3 = 1 ml
teaspoon = 5 ml = 5 cm3

100 drops = 1 teaspoon

strange, i will count’em myself today and found out if this info i found on the net is correct

Nabil, of course I dilute it with water, and thx for the results of the “experiment”.

I’m using about 10 - 12 drops per gallon in my colored cheeses.  That would be slightly less that your ratio - I’m thinking you used about 80 drops for 6 gal?  Anyway, you’ve got a nice rich color that really looks great.

I cut this wheel after two years and four months, it is heaven

Very nice looking, still have to crack my cheddar (almost 2 years)

Nabil, you have been avoiding us

That was a big chunk of cheese, and a lovely color. You put 11 lbs of cheese in a 7” mold. How tall is it?

I had looked on the internet to see what a mold for 10 lbs of cheese would be shaped like and the one that I found was 8” round and 8” tall. I was thinking of doing two pots of Swiss and putting it in the large mold to make a 10 lb Swiss. Then I realized that I only have one pot that will hold 4 gallons of milk, so I would need two new huge pots to do it, so I didn’t do it yet.

I agree on needing to perfect some of the cheeses. I started pretty randomly, but now I do have a couple of recipes coming out well, not perfected, but you can taste how much better they are now. I do find that when I make the same cheese over and over I get better at it. However I have a variety that I want for Christmas so I am torn.

never, and u never show up on facebook

Neil has such self control. I’d never make it that long. Nabil, how tall did your cheese come out to be? I’m curious about the size of the block if it was 7 inches round and had 11 gallons of milk, how tall did it came out.

Nabil, I did post some messages on your facebook but got no reply so i gave up after a while.
