We made ricotta with whole goat milk Sunday. One gallon goat milk heated to 195°. Add 1/4 cup vinegar, stir well, let sit for at least 10 minutes. This separates the curds and whey. I thought it should have separated a lot more than it did so we heated it to 200° and added another splash of vinegar. It turned out great! My daughter made tortellini for lunch with it this afternoon.

I used white because it's what I had in the pantry, but you can use cider too.

I make fresh goat cheese using a culture that I order online.
It is never-fail, easy as anything and is consistently the same.
I use a gallon of raw goat milk to make a little less than 2 lbs of cheese.I then divide into 4 oz. "ball" servings, leave some plain or roll others in chopped fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme, chives and sometimes for guests I will add edible flower petals from chives, violets, calendula, etc.Looks pretty!)These cheeses should be eaten within a week -10 days...so they are good for selling or giving away if you can't eat it all.
The website is incredible and just full of information:
www.cheesemaking.com
have fun...

PS...the specific recipefor the cheese is on the culture packet.
I use the fromage blanc or chevre culture and it is similiar in texture to an incredible cream cheese.
