A few quick points:
You can warm your milk to room temp ahead of time. In fact it is a common practice in Italy for example to let the afternoon milk ripen overnight then combine that with the next morning milking. HOWEVER they get by with this because of all the natural bacteria in the raw milk. So at home this could also be an excellent chance for bad bacteria and spoilage bacteria to take hold. So, what to do? Let it sit overnight and then test the pH with a good meter before you make cheese. pH strips or a cheap pH meter are not good enough. If contaminants have taken hold they will have started producing acid, just like "sour milk" in your frig. I won't use milk with a pH below 6.60.
DVI use requires the culture to rehydrate, become active, and start producing acid until you see a little drop in pH. Rennet needs a little acid to do a good job of coagulating. That's why the recipes tell you to wait for ~1 hour. Mother Cultures are alive and active and do not require this wait time. That is a HUGE advantage over DVI. This alone saves you an hour with every make. Pre-warming the milk combined with using a MC may save you as much as 1-1/2 hours.
Here is a link to my Mother Culture essay:
Mother CulturesUHT milk still has thermophilic spoilage bacteria, so do NOT assume that you can use UHT to avoid the sterilization phase. Use very little starter to inoculate the sterilized, and cooled milk. The more you add, the faster the MC will be ready. That concept is also true when using the MC during a make. If you want acid production to proceed more quickly, use more MC in the beginning. The balance of acid production, the final pH, and the flavors of the finished cheese are all a part of the artistry of the cheesemaker.
