Newbie to cheese from OR

[Anjuli503]

Hello- names Anjuli. I am pretty new to making cheese. My husband bought me a milly kit for camembert,  I attempted that 4 times and failed! We didnt realize this was one of the hardest to make, and I have NO previous experience (not to mention I kind of suck in the kitchen anyways!) so after some thought I decided to switch to a different cheese- choose a cheddar. Just made my first wheel last night and it is getting its rhine now. We shall see how it turns out
I am also getting into making wine, cider, hard lemonade. Have my first batch of wine and lemonade fermenting upstairs right now.

Welcome Anjuli . . . there are easier cheeses to start with than both cams and cheddar, some info in our Wiki: Recommendations For New Cheese Makers article.
