IMHO you should always use the liquid. However, you can buy it already made or make it yourself.

I'm no chemist, but there is a chemical reaction when dry calcium chloride is mixed with water. It gets very hot. Use liquid for your cheesemaking. Like Sailor says, buy it already made or make it yourself. I make up a convenient 16 oz plastic container and when I need a dose for a cheese make, it's right there handy.
