Cheesemaking is all about timing โ and one wrong cut ruins the whole batch. CurdClock is a step-by-step timing and calculation tool for home cheesemakers. Enter your flocculation time, select your cheese type, and get the exact moment to cut your curd. No mental math. No guesswork. No wasted milk. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add rennet to your milk and start the flocculation timer 2. Enter the observed floc time โ CurdClock calculates your exact cut time 3. Follow the step-by-step batch timer through pressing, salting, and aging FLOCCULATION CALCULATOR The flocculation method is the most reliable way to time your curd cut โ but it requires multiplying your observed time by a cheese-specific factor (2.0โ6.0). CurdClock handles this instantly. Select your cheese type, enter the floc time, and a countdown begins to your exact cut moment. RENNET DOSE CALCULATOR Enter your milk volume, rennet type (single strength, double strength, or tablet), and milk type (raw or pasteurized). CurdClock returns the precise dose in teaspoons and milliliters, plus the correct dilution water amount.
