15.1 Can I Use Non-Dairy Milks?
Most plant milks lack casein, so they won’t coagulate the same way. Some homemade nut milks with added thickeners can yield curds, but results vary.

15.2 What Type of Vinegar Is Best?
White distilled vinegar gives a neutral flavor. Apple cider adds subtle sweetness. Avoid strongly flavored vinegars like balsamic unless specific flavor is desired.

15.3 Why Is My Cheese Too Dry?
Draining too long removes moisture. Reduce draining time next attempt.

15.4 Can I Add Rennet to Improve Texture?
Yes! Combining acid and small rennet amounts can yield more elastic curds — but for beginners, vinegar alone is easiest.

15.5 Is This Cheese Safe to Eat?
Yes — acid coagulation creates an environment hostile to harmful bacteria. Always use clean equipment.
