Yeah, but cheese leaves so much waste. I would had to throw out the whey

Lots of ways to use whey

I feel guilty for throwing out whey for just this reason, but we have SO MUCH WHEY in our house. Like OMG. We get about 1/2 gallon of yogurt whey every week from DH's greek yogurt and then another average of 4 gallons every months from making cheddar and mozzarella. A lot of these are just places to use whey where water would do just as well. And I don't have to store water in my overfilled fridge. And there is the opposite of a water shortage where I live. I would totally water plants with it if any of my plants needed more water (and it would need to be watered down). We were putting it in the compost for a while, but apparently you're not supposed to put much whey in compost. The cats don't seem to like it. Ugh, I feel guilty about all the whey I dispose of. Maybe I should get pigs. Anyway, yes, I'm sure that I could find use for the small amount of BM whey.

OOh! You could see if there is a local farm that would take the whey? Not the BM whey, but the other stuff. We have a CSA from an organic certified farm who also has pigs, beef, and chickens. They actually sell grain to a local brewery who then returns the leftover used grains that would normally go to waste to use as animal feed. It's really interesting. Maybe someone could use the whey you have.
