I used a gallon of raw milk to make cheese this past weekend and I have some whey water leftover.

Any good uses for it?

There are plenty. It's full of probiotics so you can use it for some fermenting tasks. Your best bet is to start googling things to do with whey and find the direction you would like to go.

I make mayo with it that will last more than a week. I think you get a month out of it.

You curd use it for pain perdu, but that’s kinda milk toast.

What kind of cheese did you make? What's your technique? I've been making yogurt recently with whole milk but I know people make ricotta and other things as well. Interested.

ricotta


I slowly brought a gallon of raw milk up to 200°, then removed from the fire. Added 1.5 tbsp salt , 1/2 cup of white distilled vinegar and gently stirred. Let is sit for 15 minutes then drained off the cheese into a colander with cheesecloth over it.
Moved the cheese into a plastic container with holes to drain. Then placed it in the refrigerator.

It came out perfect.
