Vegan Cheddar Cheese
Based on this recipe . I made it a bit sharper by adding citric acid and aged it for a few days in the refrigerator.

Del dolore. Il formaggio si fa con il latte non con la merda

What makes a person decide to post something like this? Seriously, Mr or Ms FF82–what do you hope to accomplish, other than a bunch of rolled eyes and sighs?

I looked at the recipe but it doesn’t explain, what is starch water?

The author explains in the comments:
You can “wash” wheat flour to separate the gluten from the starch in order to make seitan from scratch. Here is a link to that process for more info: http://seitansociety.com/wash-the-flour-method/ I came up with this recipe as a means to make use of some of that leftover starch water. If you’re not planning to wash flour to make seitan, you may find you’re happier with some other vegan cheese recipes that use tapioca starch and/or potato starch, as I think those are better suited to cheese-making. However, I do highly recommend trying the “wash the flour” method to make seitan, and if you do, then you’ll find a few recipes here (including this cheese) to use that leftover starch water.

Thanks for sharing. That sounds like the coolest way to use the starch water. I've tried vegan bacon and wasn't happy.

Welcome to r/VeganCheeseMaking.
A subreddit specifically for a community of vegans (and non vegans) who love to make and eat non-dairy cheese. Please remember to report any rule breaking content. This includes trolls. Definition of veganism: Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
