Use approximately 1/2 - 1 tsp for 6-12 gallons of milk. This is an estimated guide for usage. Setting temperature, stage of milk and type of cheese will call for specific amounts to reach proper acidification rate.

United StatesI'm relatively new to cheesemaking and recently switched from using pre-measured culture packets to this bulk package. I was concerned at first, but shouldn't have been. It is well made and easy to use. I have since made 3 cheeses with it and all have turned out beautifully!
CanadaI have been making soft cheeses for years now, but the jump to hard cheeses seemed impossible. The New England Cheese Making Supply Co. website is amazing and it helped me decide what starter cultures to try for my first hard cheese. Yesterday the impossible became possible as I attempted cheddar cheese for the first time! The MA11 starter which smelled like cheddar even in its package was amazing! My first attempt wasn't perfect, but it was delicious! We decided to eat the cheese fresh it tasted so good! I am going to try my hand at ageing cheese next week ... when I attempt cheddar again! Thanks Guys, Crazy Goat Lady
United StatesWorks like a charm, happy as always with cheesemaking.com
United StatesThis made the best cheese. I love it and so did my family. Good company too. I really like New England Cheese Company. I can't add a photo, because we ate it so quickly.
United StatesTrying it now for some Chesire, we'll see how it works.
