Rennet is an enzyme that is made by baby calves to digest milk. It acts by cleaving off the tails of Kappa Casein that surround the casein micelle, which allows the casein micelles to get closer to each other, thus causing them to bond together and precipitate. Rennet can be made by either harvesting out of the stomachs of the boy calves, that the farmer does not want and so sends to the freezing works. It can also be made synthetically using microbes. Hence you can have calf rennet or microbial rennet. Calf rennet is generally more effective, but it costs more and there is a limited supply. Rennet is used in the dairy industry to make both cheese and rennet casein.

1 tablet of rennet is how much liquid rennet?
One teaspoon of liquid rennet is reported to be equivalent to one Junket Rennet tablet. Thus, you would use one teaspoon to coagulate five gallons of inoculated milk, or 4 drops/gallon of inoculated milk. (I have only used tablet rennet, but am assured that liquid rennet works just as well as the tablets.) Liquid rennet can be ordered from various cheese maker's suppliers or which New England Cheese Making Supplies is prominent on the web. I have had a number of cheese makers complain that the liquid rennet looses its potency within a year of age, and one must add more and more to achieve the same degree of coagulating.
