They do? Iv'e never seen one.

Most of the recipes I've seen don't mention liquid or powder, but all
of the pictures I've seen of calcium chloride in reference to cheese
making are pictures of a liquid. For example, here's a recipe from
leeners: http://www.leeners.com/mozzarella-video.html. The
grapeandgranary website also mentions liquid calcium chloride in
their recipe: http://www.grapeandgranary.com/easymozzarella.pdf. I've
yet to see a recipe that calls for the powder.

Maybe this is a misunderstanding on my part. I'm assuming the liquid
is a dilution of the powder which is why I'm hesitant to simply use
the powder in the recipe (1tsp per gallon).

I called a home brew store close to me and they get liquid calcium
chloride from their cheese supply distributor and powder from their
wine/beer supply distributor. The label on the liquid didn't mention
the solution strength.

Have you successfully used powder in a mozzarella recipe? Do you
remember the ratio of powder to milk?
