Welcome!

Look around on this forum. There are many recipes and experiences for people at all levels of cheesemaking. Start with some easier cheeses to get some experience and do not hesitate to ask questions. We are all helpful here and have all been in your shoes at one point.

Hello Seayork welcome to cheesemaking.

I would suggest starting with a pot of plain tap water and practicing raising and lowering the temperature over a given time as though you were making cheese.  Controlling temperature can be trickier than you might think, and all stoves are different. If you find you have an easier time controlling lower temperatures make a Mesophilic cheese first if higher temperatures make a thermophilic cheese first.
