Problem making mozzarella with Goat's milk

[SkyWarrior]

I've made microwave mozzarella before with goat's milk and it has turned out okay. Lately, the curds form okay but then when I finally pull the curds out and microwave them, they won't stretch! When I do get them to fold, the cheese consistency is something like processed cheese and not fresh mozzarella.

I read somewhere that depending on the cycle of the goat, you may need more citric acid?

Any suggestions?

I have heard that also, something to keep in mind.....When I can finally start milking I will be trying the cheese making too, so I am interested as well.

Always use milk that is 3 days old. Usually, you want to use the freshest milk possible but the pH of older milk is good for this one.
