Hi! New cheese maker in Alabama

[39chicks1cow]

Hi!  I am new to cheese making.  I have a Jersey that I milk twice a day.  We are really enjoying our fresh milk- about 2 gallons a day.  I have been making sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, and more with great success.  My problems are in my hard cheese.  I stumbled across this forum and I'm very excited!  I can't wait to learn from the people that are out there actually making great cheeses!  I would love to be able to make all our cheeses.  We eat lots of cheese, and it would be very fulfilling to make it! 

We are a homechooling family with 2 Jerseys, about 39 chickens, 3 dogs, 2 kids, and 1 husband.  I think that about covers it all.   ^-^

Hi Jennifer,

We're a homeschooling family with 2 Jerseys, more like 50 chickens, 4 dogs, 5 kids, a husband, and some sheep thrown in too. Just north of you in Tennessee too. I think you'll do fine!

Hop on over to one of the hard cheese topics and post your problems. Lots of knowledgeable folks about.
