So glad I found this place, and I can't wait to picks the brains of all the great people here (and hopefully contribute some novel ideas myself).
Hello Panda welcome to the forum. I am new myself but can say these are wonderful people!
Good morning Panda and welcome to the forum. What cheese have you made so far?
Hello and welcome to this forum! What's the Belgian Panda all about?
Nice blog you have in your signature, I see you've made several different cheeses including blue, cheddar and Port brined, congrats!
I think you are the third from Oregon and there is a Geographic > USA > Oregon Board (https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/board,86.0.html) in case you wanted to post anything local.
Looking forward to your input :).

If cheese is what you're after welcome.
Brraaains...
Thanks John, I'll check that out as well. The name came from my favorite line in a Fish Called Wanda ("This isn't any old cheap Chinese panda, this one was hand made in Belgium!"), and I now have ~20 different cheeses in my cave. Most of them are variations on pressed jack/cheddar since I'm working on one or two variables at a time, but yes I do have a blue, swiss, and several liquor brined as well.
Hello and welcome Panda,
What booze have you brined with other than wine? I have a friend that has used brandy but I cant bring myself to use my coffee sweetener for cheese :D
