Hello everyone!
I'm 24 years old, and recently graduated with a degree in civil engineering. Its taking a while to find a job in my field, so I thought taking up Cheesemaking as a hobby to pass the time would be fun and rewarding.
I have been taking in alot of information about the art and science of cheesemaking from books, and web videos/pages and have already learned alot, but havnt really had the opportunity to put that knowledge into practice yet. I have only made 2 batches (and one failed attempt at Mozzarella), and still dont have some of the essential equipement needed (Its pricey!). However I hope to practice and learn to make great cheese.
Off the subject of cheese, Im on a swim team, and like playing online video games. When I have time on the weekends I love goin out with friends, and other normal person stuff lol.
hope to become a part of this community
MOZ ???

Hi Moz
This is a great place to learn about cheese making!
When my daughter was a kid I tried to get her interested in looking at and identifying rocks. She could have cared less. Now 15 years after getting her MS in civil engineering she works for a large company that designs tunnels that go under existing buildings (and the buildings don't fall down). Now she knows all about dirt and rocks!
-
That is awsome!!
My interest was originally in tunnels... but since graduation, my interest is in anything that will get my career started. lol.
If worse comes to worse, maybe I can get really good at this cheese making skill/art/science, and start my own buisiness!
I just cant wait to get totally into this. I think the one essential piece of equipement im missing is a PH monitor... I think that is what screwed up my mozzarella batch.
anyway, thanks for the reply!

Moz, I would say that's not a 'if worse comes to worse' situation you're describing there! ;)

haha. true. But i love engineering and would love to be able to do both.
