Hello from western Ohio... North of Dayton area as in Troy.
My username is my name, no need for an alias. The m is for Michael. I was born in central Indiana and attended Purdue University. After spending most of my life in my hometown my ex-wife and I decided to go our separate ways. My curiosity, another woman, led me to Ohio. I liked the area so I uprooted and moved to Ohio about 7 years ago. I am finally a happy man :D
I have always liked doing things myself. I built my own garage, work on my vehicles and do the maintenance on our house. I process my own deer, make self bows and brew beer just to name a few. I have always had a passion for cheese and I love all types .... pretty much anything I can get my hands on at a reasonable price. Note - I have yet to brave Limburger thought I hear it is splendid ... that is if you can get past the odor.
My intentions prior to getting divorced were to obtain a few milk goats so that we could harvest the raw milk and make cheese at home. I know it would have been quite an undertaking, but we already had laying hens and horses so it wasn't undoable. Obviously it didn't work out.
For some reason I happened across a cheese making video the other day and it rekindled my interest. I have watched several of Gavin Weber's (The Cheese Man I guess he is called) videos and I am ready to take on the challenge. I have pretty much setup my home brewery which is very simple but effective and efficient, so I am now prepared to become a cheese monger, lol.
So ..... short story long, here I am. Hope to make a few friends along the way to gaining some valuable knowledge of the process.
