Go to the Recipe: Squeaky Cheese Curds
Is there a good online resource for hotel pans/ perforated pan?

How well do they freeze, and does the quality and qualities of the curds diminish because of this?

Actually, we'll have to test this with our next batch. My guess is that freezing will cause problems with the texture once they're thawed.
Is there a good way to do this with the sous vide professional instead of the supreme?

Search for "gastronorm" in google.
The linked page for R-707 mesophilic homofermentative culture no longer exists. Can you please recommend another place I can purchase from? Thanks!

I get mine from http://www.cheesemaking.com/ They have a big selection. Hope that helps.
Which PH meter do guys use ? If you managed to lower the PH level to 5.1 ish could you actually stretch it like mozzarella even though it is set with meso and not thermo ?
Which one is used in the video?
My first attempt at homemade mozzarella. Citric acid and vegetable rennet.
Hey Guys, question, could i "follow this recipe guidelines, to make "Cheddar" or Caerphilly or any of the other hard Cheese, and then go on to the pressing stage? Thanks - Rick
Can it work in a circulating bath with an insert of the dairy mix in a closed container? Looking for an option for an immersion circulator. I don't own a Sous Vide Supreme/Profesh, just an actual circulator set up, plus I just pre-ordered a Joule, and would love to squeak some cheese curds all up in my poutine without worry of getting the "SVP". Thanks, and love what you guys are doing for the world of deliscious.
Any chance of reworking this recipe to use Joule instead of Supreme?
@Grant Lee Crilly So happy you updated this recipe to use Joule.
I went to the purchase link for the https://www.chefsteps.com/ingredients/r-707-mesophilic-homofermentative-culture link but they only have r-704.. Are they the same?
What John said, any chance of redoing the recipe with Joule?
No, method of separating the curd, sizes and temperatures are different... There is Gavin Webber that teaches cheese making on youtube (never followed a recipe but seems correct). It you have a sousvide equipment you only need the water bath and the wand to better control the temperature.

There are a lot of posts asking for how to do this with the Joule. Are you going to answer this for Studio Pass members?
Hi Daniel, just saw your post here as I am making this recipe right now. I am using the control freak. but this walk through shows you how to use it with joule. https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/how-to-make-squeaky-cheese-curds-just-like-beecher-s
Do you change any temperatures when you make it with a pot on a Control Freak or do you let the probe stick down in the milk?
Can I split this in half using just 1 gal. If so are all the other ingredients also split?
Yes and yes.
