I bought my sis a cheese making kit because she is a cheese fiend but we only made cheese once so far. Now I have to convince her to make more so I can try out some of these!

I use acidic whey from yoghurt making to brine a whole chicken for roasting. Adds nice flavor and moistness.

That was informative Gav. I'll be sure to use whey in the back yard where I can't use chemicals because of my dogs, especially the one who likes to pick and eat his own tomatoes. I've recently bottled a batch of blaand which is 16 months old now and plan to send you pics soonish. Another use for whey is whey caramel. It takes a long time to reduce down but the finished product brings caramel sauce to a whole new level and lovely to serve for a special occasion.

Good for boiling rice or pasta for a hit of additional flavor

Fermented whey that came out whilst I tried making homemade greek yogurt made for the most delicious savoury yogurt drink. Wish I knew how to recreate it, I tried another time and couldn't get it the same, Was tangy and umami.

You can preserve fatty pork in whey. I actually had a piece in my fridge for almost 6 months that was as fresh as the week it went in. Thermophyllic, not acid whey. Chicken get gross, white fish can be improved with a week in whey, but not too much longer. Cook it low and slow. Original idea was posted in a historical viking cooking group.

I make ricotta, then give the spent whey to my Sis-in-Law for her garden and compost. If ricotta is not on the docket and my demijohns are free, Blaand it is. I'll let her know about the plant spray treatment for sure. I make kitchen-made (non-industrial) heavies, so that's at least 7 gallons of whey to be processed per batch. Also, your facial and mouth expressions: I've tinnitus and my brother is in the 20% of hard of hearing. We're both lip readers, though he's very proficient. Thank you for your enunciation and expressions for them with limited hearing.

I made ricotta using yogurt, whole milk, heavy cream, lemon juice, and salt. I think the whey I have leftover is acidic/sour. What can we do with sour whey? I'm going to see if you've made a video about it, but if you haven't, I'd love to see one. I'm new to the curd nerd herd.

@GavinWebber 18 күн бұрын

I'm afraid there is not much you can do with it as the left over whey whould be too acidic and depending when you added the salt, too salty? If it doesn't have salt added to it, then you would use it for acid loving plants in a ratio of 1 part whey to 8 parts water.

I'm fermenting 13 l of light beer, 1 kg blond malt extract, 5 IBU, 8 l whey and neutral ale yeast. Using it in a all-malt beer results in low yield in my experience.

Gav, can you use the whey from making blue cheese to make ricotta or for fermenting? I’m asking because of the presence of the Roqueforti and I wonder if it will affect the ricotta or ferment.

@GavinWebber 5 ай бұрын

Yes, you can make ricotta with the whey from blue cheese making, as long the heating of the whey before adding the vinegar should kill off any lactic bacteria or moulds. As for ferments, I'm not sure. I've only ever used whey from semi-hard or hard cheeses without any added P. Roqueforti.

No one should be pouring it down the drain. It should go into the garden, if not eaten.

I've heard that whey can damage the kitchen pipes, and should be discarded elsewhere 😮

I don't think the plastic pipes would be affected. It's basically water with a bit of protein.

I use sour whey from making ricotta as the cooking liquid in risotto with excellent results, I also use it for making lentils and for slow cooked beans. I cringe seeing you pour it down the drain. Sometimes I value the whey more than the ricotta, I use goat's milk
