So happy to announce two out of the three fetas turned out great! We did a taste test (well the men that were here) and liked them very much. The kids then did their own and also liked them very much. I'm a happy cooker. The one I liked best was the easies to make. It simply takes our "farmers cheese" we make regularly and then you heavy brine it (salting it) and then pickle brine it for a week. Could not be easier! Now we'll see how they are after 2 weeks, etc. I kind of want to try some other feta recipes now that I've watched more YouTube videos on it, I like the idea of using the whey (with added salt) as a brine for the feta, seems less wasteful. The cheese book we have is great but I really want to strangle the author sometimes...he makes things much harder than they need to be.
Yesterday I made cottage cheese and today I made mozzarella...guess what I'm making tomorrow? (Hint: It includes moose burger and spaghetti sauce and layers...yum)

Congratulations!! Wish I lived closer so I could try it! As for the whey, I like using it as the liquid when I make bread - very tasty. And as you say, with salt for brine.
