No Curd Cream Cheese

I tried to make a cream cheese yesterday and followed the directions in the book carefully. It called for goats milk and heavy cream. I heated it to 40C and then let it drop slowly to 30C before adding the starter. It sat for 45 minutes, as instructed, and then I added 2T of lemon juice. Nothing happened - 12 hours later - still nothing. So I added two drops of rennet and am letting it sit undisturbed now - but nothing seems to be happening - again.
I guess there's no cheese for me.

Thank you! There's a top layer that is pretty thick, and then there's the 'baby sick' below it. I think I'll let it sit until tomorrow morning. You helped me build my confidence now that I know I did the right thing - sorta!
