Basic homemade mozzarella. I have made 4 batches and am sitting at 50:50 success:failure ratio.
The first batch I ever made, last year, I overworked the living poo poo out of, and I was basically left with a crumbly protein blob.
Second batch was fine.
Third batch was fine.
Fourth batch ended up becoming ricotta somehow. I think I stirred too long after adding the rennet :effort:

I think the bottle of rennet I got was poo poo, I did another batch and watched it carefully, and was a lot more conservative with the stirring. Still ended up with thick ricotta.
Did another batch with the junket rennet I had used before and it worked perfectly, with super strong curds.
