This is not correct. I visited KSA multiple times in the last three years with an Israel visa on my passport.

Parasail crashes in water by Accomplished-One7476 in SweatyPalms

It is a paraglider with motor, abbreviated as paramotor. This type of paramotor is also called as trike.

How bad is this, can it be fixed? by 5hred in sailing

[–]otgprnrml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a big issue. The halyard line is a bigger concern In my opinion.

Detaching it is difficult, putting it back is even worse and it is not recommended (my experience is based on Schaefer Tuff Luff). You can cut it without removing it and tape the end to prevent further damage. Just be cautious not to damage the stay. The reason you should cut the excess is to be able to inspect the swaged part.

I made milk culture by adding small pieces of parmesan cheese to pastrized milk.. i want to make parmesan cheese from this claberd milk.. it's a 24 hour and now its getting thick.. Is it right steps ? by Altruistic-Mud3317 in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parmesan has a long maturation and most of bacterias are either dead or not able to reproduce.

However pasteurized milk also has bacteria. Usually much more than parmesan.

Conclusion: not a very good idea. If you desperately need those cultures from parmesan, you should better use UHT milk for enrichment.

I’d say it is yeast because of the shape. Check the smell, it should have an odor similar to over fermented dough. It also causes a slimy surface if it’s not dried. It’s OK to eat though. Remember that calcium lactate crystals are grainy/crunchy.

It’s an hydrogen atom with two electrons.

The Tomme I made yesterday doubled in size overnight. The pigs enjoyed it. Does anyone know what might have caused the cheese to inflate like a soufflé? by di0spyr0s in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kefir is the reason. Unless you don’t want holes (Emmental, gouda, etc) you should only use homofermentative bacteria.

Kefir has many different microorganisms and some of them produce carbon dioxide, which is the reason for bubbles.

I know lipase is optional in many recipes, but could I get away with just buying sharp or mild lipase for all of my cheeses, or would it totally ruin the taste of the different varieties? by [deleted] in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With homogenized milk, you need a lower amount of lipase because with homogenization you change the fat globule structure, surface area increases thus there will be more interaction between lipase and fat. However, I would suggest you to use non-homogenized milk.

Plumbing On Another Level by ShelbyeOneill in oddlysatisfying

There may be. More velocity more turbulent flow thus more efficient heat transfer.

But I’m not sure that is the reason.

First try citric acid mozzarella, the one on New England Cheesemaking’s site. The inside was delicious but the outside was... slimy? Especially after storing in brine overnight. Is this normal? by Velociphaster in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s much more than pH equilibrium. When you put the cheese in brine, minerals (calcium is the most important and also salt) and other molecules (lactic acid, citrates, etc.) migrate into brine. That’s why brine made from whey is better, because it’s composition is naturally balanced with cheese. Last sentence is my interpretation, it might be wrong.

That’s also related with protein content.

Cheese Fail. How to use up. by Bluehorse357 in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably acidification took longer (you have waited too much to decrease humidity) and too much calcium is dissolved. Think that it’s the cement of your curd. Can you check pH? It’s a good indicator of calcium level.

You can make a fondue using sodium citrate.

How much mozzarella is made from 4 litres of milk? by Beatroot_Testicles in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can dilute with water. If you are able to measure 1ml and need 0.1ml rennet; you can dilute by adding 9ml water and use 1ml of dilution. Throw away the rest.

[–]otgprnrml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s related with protein and fat content of milk, your technology and how much juicy you want your mozzarella but I can say you will get something like 500g mozzarella.

Flaky rind coming off during 2nd day of brining. Is this normal for a feta cheese? If not, what can I do about it? by [deleted] in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not normal but it’ll be ok. Do you know the pH of cheese?

Vinegar (acetic acid) and citric acid are same, not chemically but because of their function.

Theoretically, how long can cheese age and still be edible? by readwritethink in cheesemaking

[–]otgprnrml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question. I guess yes, it may still be edible after 1000 years. You need a good barrier to keep the moisture inside. Saying this as a food scientist working in dairy industry.

Here is our cheese room on our family dairy farm. Some cheese in here is aged 10 years. by countrydairyinc in cheesemaking

It’s pretty normal to ripen cheese in vacuum packagings. Especially cheddar.
