About this app

Forty litres went into the pot, and less fresh cheese came out than last week. Was it the milk, the fat, or the day? A sweet shop or dairy usually cannot say, because nobody compares one batch with the next. Curd Count does, batch by batch, for each supplier.
Start with your products and the yield you normally expect, such as fresh cheese, yogurt, cream or the reduced milk solids used for sweets. Add the suppliers or milk routes you buy from. Before a batch, enter the litres, and the fat if you test it. Curd Count shows the weight to expect and the normal range, with a drawing of the pot filled to that level. Weigh what comes out and you see the real yield in kg per 100 litres and how far it sits from that supplier's normal. A batch well below normal is marked, at a limit you set.
The figures are your own. Once a supplier has three weighed batches, its normal comes from its last ten. Until then, the shop's batches are used, and before that your starting figure. When fat is recorded, Curd Count also learns the yield for each point of fat, so a richer or thinner delivery is expected to give more or less.
For an order, enter the weight you need and Curd Count gives the litres of milk to set aside and how many cans that is. A chart on the Suppliers page shows every batch from a supplier over time, with the weak ones marked.
Curd Count compares batch yields with your own past batches. It is not a laboratory milk test or a food-safety check. It keeps no prices or orders, and everything stays on the phone.
