I love really good cheese. Jerri Bedell, our beloved owner of Homesteader&#8217;s Supply, sent the Best Basic Cheese Kit to me to try out. You see&#8230;I have an idea. I think we should make cheese together. All of us! Well not all of us. Of course not everyone wants to make cheese. But how about some of us?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my plan. On Tuesday, May 13, I&#8217;m going to make cheese using the <strong><a title=\"Best Basic Cheese Kit\" href=\"http:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=185_190&amp;products_id=1748\" target=\"_blank\">Best Basic Cheese Kit<\/a><\/strong>. There&#8217;s time for you to order the kit, get familiar with it, and be ready to make cheese that day. We&#8217;ll compare notes as we go and talk about the cheese we made. If you write about this in your blog we&#8217;ll share your link on Facebook, Twitter and in a blog about our cheese making day.<\/p>\n<p>The cheese kit is only $44.88, and shipping is free in the lower 48 states.<\/p>\n<h1>Best Basic Cheese Kit<\/h1>\n<p>So about that cheese kit! This is the same supplies and equipment used by professionals to make cheese.\u00a0 It contains some of the same quality products in our larger kits, just gives you the basic products you need to try your hand at making all kinds of cheese.\u00a0 And what better than to buy your kit from a store that takes pride in helping our customers!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_327\" style=\"width: 442px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\" http:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/best-basic-cheese-kit.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-327\" class=\"size-full wp-image-327 \" title=\"Best Basic Cheese Kit\" src=\"http:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Best-Basic-Cheese-Kit.jpg\" alt=\"Best Basic Cheese Kit\" width=\"432\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Best-Basic-Cheese-Kit.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Best-Basic-Cheese-Kit-286x300.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-327\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Best Basic Cheese Kit<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our kit does not contain any citric acid or vinegar, and there is no need for a microwave.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s face it, real cheese takes time to make&#8230;some faster than others. But if you want the best tasting, all natural cheese, then this is the kit for you.<\/p>\n<p>With this kit you will be able to make many types of cheese, as it includes both basic mesophilic and thermophilic cultures, enough to make up to 24 lbs of cheese from each type.\u00a0\u00a0 And, these cultures are the only\u00a0 type where you can make a mother culture for continued use, so they can last you a very long time.\u00a0 We include that recipe. The <a title=\"Reblochon Cheese Mold\" href=\"http:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=1634\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Reblochon Mold<\/strong><\/a> is the best one to use as a form for soft cheeses and mozzarella, and as a press for harder cheeses like Colby and Cheddar, making one pound of cheese from one gallon of milk!\u00a0 The rennet is vegetarian, and usually only needs 1\/4 or 1\/2 half tablet per gallon of milk. The calcium chloride is for making cheese with pasteurized milk, necessary to help for the curds.\u00a0 And the bonus is you can even make butter and sour cream with this kit!<\/p>\n<p>Everything that is <a title=\"Best Basic Cheese Kit\" href=\"http:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=185_190&amp;products_id=1748\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>included in this kit and more information<\/strong><\/a> about the kit is available on our website. Please let us know that you&#8217;ve ordered one of our cheese kits (doesn&#8217;t have to be this one in particular!) and will be making cheese with us.
