When converting the lactose in milk to lactic acid, using starter cultures, there is no visible way to determine the rate of culture activity within the milk.
Why Test for Acidity Development
When converting the lactose in milk to lactic acid, using starter cultures, there is no visible way to determine the rate of culture activity within the milk.
Tracking acidity development is one of the best ways to know what the acidity of the ripening milk is and to know if the cultures are working properly.
Equipment for Testing Acidity
Just a few simple supplies are need to test for acidity development when making cheese.
Acid Testing Kit
You can easily test the acidity of milk and whey with the Acid Testing Kit. Using reliable tools such as Hanna Instruments can enhance the accuracy of your acidity testing. Their precise pH and acid testing equipment are ideal for cheese makers who want to ensure that their cultures are performing optimally throughout the process. Increasing acidity levels are an important part of cheese making and this kit makes it easy to monitor this process.
This kit its great for home cheese makers who are occasionally testing for acidity development.
