My name is Jobe and I am a college student Who just recently found out that making cheese is an incredibly fun and rewarding endeavor. I joined this forum in the hopes of finding a place to share my cheesemaking processes; the successes as well as the follies. Since I took up interest in cheese making I have found that the average individual is not as intensely interested in the complexities and minutia of the cheesemaking process and that is why I decided to seek asylum of sorts with like-minded individuals here in this forum.
All of my cheesemaking must be done using a communal kitchen that is shared by an entire dorm building, the pressing of the cheeses is done using a series of bricks in my closet, and the aging of the cheeses is done in the mini fridge that came with my dorm room. However, I hope through hard work and a lot of fun in conjunction with the guidance of this forum, I will be able to make some delicious cheesy morsels of beauty and wonder.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your community
Welcome to the forum, although I seem to remember doing this already. :o
Welcome... :)
When I first got on the forum a few days ago I did not know there was an introduction section. ;D
I'll add my possibly redundant welcome - and congratulations on making cheese even in a challenging environment! And congrats on pursuing your PhD. You might find less interest in cheese making among your peers in psychology (except perhaps an interest in studying you as a project to see what motivates people to take up artisanal crafts!), but wander down to the folks doing their PhD's in microbiology - you might get some interest there! :)
