how much cheese can I make with this kit?

I can't say for sure, but it wasn't a whole lot. You use a gallon of goat milk, and a small return.

I can't remember if there are three or four foil culture packets, but I mix 1/2 packet w/ 1/2 gallon goat's milk. So that means this kit will process three to four gallons of milk depending on how many foil culture packets there are in it. From that 1/2 gallon I can then fill up each of the four cheese molds pretty much to the top. One mold contains enough cheese to serve four people a good sized portion of cheese w/ crackers at say dinner. The cheese this kit makes has been so good that people are asking for my goat cheese for Christmas presents. I hope this helps.

There are 5 packets of Chevre starter which will make about a lb of cheese each. Plus the Fresh culture which is a reusable culture were you make a mother and can keep it going. It also has recipes for making cheeses that do not require a culture. So, really the amount you can make with this kit really depends on you. 5 lb of Chevre +. It's a great starter kit. I was new to cheese making and started with this kit. I am now ordering my own cultures from else were but this kit was a perfect starter for learning the basics.

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?

Yes. It is so easy you wont believe!! I used this exact kit, and my results were delicious. I personally used whole organic milk. I made 7 quarts out of one packet. There are 6 packets. Have fun!!

The chevre' that I make takes about an hour to cook the milk and get it ready... Then 24 hrs to cure. Fairly easy and yummy! A gallon of milk renders about two pounds of soft cheese.

More than enough, about 6-8 cups after adding water. The kit is great. We grew giant mushrooms and made pasta.

The only thing I make is cheese straws and the motor is not strong enough to push dough thru. Therefore I have never been able to use it. Sorry&#128530;...

I use a recipe that calls for 2 cream cheeses and 2 eggs and no sour cream or additional liquids and it makes roughly 12-15 mini cheesecakes depending on how thick the crust is. Hope that helps

The Fox Run 3-Piece SS Chinois Set worked really well for me with tomatoes and other things I needed to squish up : ) to make sauces and juicey stuff. I don't knowhow to make cheese But if you lined it with cheese cloth or the like and used a DEEP bowl, well, it just might work. Hope this helped

Honestly you should have enough with one kit. I bought two kits and only used one. Just try to judge how much you are using as you go and make adjustments. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Mmm I'm not sure, you could use a scale that is tared out to zero with the "guide" of the press, then press to the weight you need and use the same number of turns for your cheese. You can do that if you want to be really exact but I just eyeball it depending on the cheese I'm making. For a hard dry cheese like Parmesan I press to remove as much of the liquid as I can.

It comes with the shredding and slicing cone, I don't know about cheese. I use it for carrots and beets and it works well.

I don't know why you couldn't as long as you get your proportions right on milk to starter. I have never made less than the full amount so not 100% sure, but it seems to me that you could.

I don't now about recipes other than Google it but I made a bunch of Mac and cheese with it because we had so much pasta in our cupboard to use up. I just used it as you would on the directions to making Kraft Mac and cheese. (Boil your pasta and set aside after draining then make your sauce which consists of butter or margarine, milk and the Cheddar Cheese Powder) It came out great!!!

I keep my packets in the freezer, just pulling them out when I need to use one. Each packet makes two batches of the cheese I make (goat cheese). I use 1/4 teaspoon per 8 cups of goat milk. I also add one drop of liquid rennet. The packets do not have detailed instructions on how to make cheese. I just purchased a cheese-making book from my local animal food store. Good luck!

Range is from -58F to +572F with +/- 2 degrees accuracy up to 248F degrees, so I don't see any reason why not. I believe cheese making would be a fine application.

I don't really think so for a large quantity. Its great for smaller things like zesting limes and lemons also garlic and ginger. Ive never used it for cheeses.

This is not an "all in one" kit. There are several other things you will need, and a couple things that will make things easier for you. This kit contains: instructions, grape juice, bentonite, stabilizer, clarifier, corks, labels. This basically consists of all the ingredients. You will also need a fermenter (could be a carboy or 6gal bucket style), airlock, sanitizer, hydrometer, siphon, bottles, and corker. You will have to transfer the 6 gallons between containers several times, so a second 6gal bucket or carboy is needed. At some point you're going to want to bottle it, which will require about 30 x 750ml bottles and a corker. Unless you want to just put a straw in it... All the additional supplies will likely run you a bit of additional money, but they're all reusable. Once you have them you just buy the wine kits to make another batch. So, the kit is just the ingredients and none of the hardware.
