I am in the process of making cheese for the first time with my mom. We are making Ricotta cheese. I hope it turns out good. First we have to get 1gallon of goat milk and put it on the stove and get the temperature to be at 195. It is taking forever! You have to constantly stir it or it will boil and have a bad taste. After it gets to 195 you have to pour in 1/4 a cup of Apple cider vinegar (by the way that stuff smells horrible). Once you pour that stuff in you stir it slowly and it will form curds. Then you take the curds out and that's the ricotta. Then you add 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 a tablespoon of melted butter and that gives it flavor. You stir that well and keep it in the frig for over a week and there you have it Ricotta Cheese. It weighs 2 pounds or it is suppose to!
