Serenity now!

I've been watching a lot of videos on making cheese at home, and think I might give it a try. I have to measure the temp in my basement to make sure it's cool enough for the cheese to ripen, and if so, I'll give it a shot.

Anyone here make cheese? Any advice?



Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

I've never made my own cheese...but I've cut a lot of cheese! Big Grin

I've not made it but have looked seriously into it as well. Perhaps it would make a good winter hobby this year.

As far as your basement temp, if it's not cool enough you might look at buying one of those small electric wine coolers that also will control humidity. Someone on one of the cheese boards I was reading awhile back suggested that. Of course a good underground root cellar would be best, but we don't all have one of those...yet.

I've made ricotta and yogurt cheese, but not any harder cheeses.
Lately it seems that the only milk we can get around here is ultrapasturized, which isn't suitable for culturing.
