I also have been looking into making cheese. For me it is easy to get a lot of the materials since I live in dairy land.. Hear are a few web sights I been checking out that may help.

been wanting to make my own cheese for some time. I love anything that ferments or you can make from scratch that others don't know how to or have the skill.

I do a lot of meat smoking, canning, bread making, pizza making, brewing, distilling, etc. I am going to sign my son up for 4H and hopefully I'll be able to get some good goats milk to start experimenting on.

I've been wanting to do my own cheese and yogurt.
Just little to do, with so much time.

Many years ago, we had our own (4) Jersey milkers. My wife made some great cheeses, and I had my own specialty.

I love buttermilk, the only one that does just to drink, wife would use it to cook with, but hated the taste. Anyway, after the makeing of the buttermilk, which is nothing like the store bought crap, I would take and make cottage cheese. One of my very favorites. If you have never had homemade, you have never had cottage cheese. Store bought doesn't represent it at all. It would be like compareing cream to powdered milk. Easiest of all the cheeses to make as well. I would eat it by the pound. A shake of salt and some black pepper ground on, and I would make a meal of it. But I love all good cheeses. Some of the store regular cheeses seem to be made out of plastic these days. Yuk!

Fresh water mozerella is relatively easy to make also. I've made it while working at various restaurants. It has a very mild taste though. It goes good on salads, not much else. If you're interested I can look up the recipe.
