Hi Brian, I am thinking of giving this recipe a go.  How did you find that it turned out?

So far so good.  No mold under the wax.
It's been about 2 months now.

Tea,
I've used the Cheese Wizard's recipes many times and I'm yet to be disappointed. They are very easy to follow and do produce some good results. I use his Gouda recipe exclusively and have never yet had a failure.
The only point I disagree with him on is the amount of time to stir after adding the rennet. I never stir over 1 minute after this addition.
Give it a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Make sure you start in the morning.  My first cheddar from Ricki Carrol's book took me 8 hours............
Stirred Curd cheddar is taking me about 5 or 6 hours.
