Homemade Cheese???

[Bigbirdoffroad]

I know there are enough of you out there that smoke cheese yourself but does anyone here make their own cheese? I'm thinking on trying it out.

Deb has for sure...

I have made some.  I found that it was too time consuming to keep it up with all the other things that I do.   A good resource for cheesemaking is cheeseforum.org.   There are quite a few people there making some beautiful cheeses.   Another resource is deejay's smoke pit  http://www.deejayssmokepit.net/  Debi, the owner of that forum also participates on the cheeseforum.org - she is a wealth of knowledge.

here is a post with a cheddar that I did

I just read through that post - wow,  I forgot that I had written it.  there is more in there than the cheddar.

Thanks Deb. I understand about the time consuming thing. I make my own beer and wine, waiting for a batch to be ready for drinking can be torture.

Culture magizine had an article on cheesemaking classes around the country -

I want to do some making.  I have the motz kit and several books.  Also there is one of the classes near me.  They actually have a lot of classes on different crafts -
