Greetings,
I can't believe I only today discovered this site. I'm an amateur cheesemaker living in the NC Appalachian mountains. Asheville would be the closest city. I've been making cheese for about six years now. Cheddars and gouda mostly, though the occasional soft cheese. I'm mostly an cheesemaking autodidact, but took a great class las summer at Spinning Spider Creamery here in NC on gouda. It was a lot of fun to meet other cheesemakers. Until then I had never met another one!
This week I made my first yogurt on the spur on the moment, and even more spur of the moment made a neufchatel with the leftover milk. Yum.
I'm looking forward to reading more on the forums!
Ben
