Steve Shapson's blue cheese kit has all ingredients mixed, but 3 of my blue cheeses with p. roqueforti ala Ricki Carroll's recipe have turned out great( not always the same, but bluey and creamy or salty/shocking-good). John Daugherty/ johndheart@gmail.com **Q: Am I correct in calculating that this packet is enough for 132 gallons of milk?** A: sounds a lot, but 1/16 tsp per 2 gal/ you might be correct **Q: This is a powder?** A: Yes, it is a powder and can be used to sharpen other cheeses, in moderation **Q: Is this culture propagated on lactose?** A: Hello, yes it is.
