Morning Scotty and welcome to the forum.  If you can make all those other things, I'm sure you will get the hang of making cheese.  Start simple and work up.

    remember that queso blanco is the only cheese that i  had success with.

Scotty welcome! Moz is a very tough cheese. For simple cheese you could make Light Cream Cheese, there's a recipe on the CFO website. I also like Feta as no aging, but you need Lipase . . . have fun!

Scotty,
On another subject what is "high temp cheese''?  A customer came in this morning saying he was going to make brats and sausage and needed high temp cheese to put in them.  He was going on a hunting trip with his buddies to Wyoming.  Maybe it is a local reference.

It's the former. :) Just a nice Jewish boy who loves to cook, bake, make cheese, read the scriptures, play flamenco guitar, ...... and so on and on and on .... :)

I make the following recommendation a lot, because I'm finding it enormously useful myself. That is, if you go through the archives for the forums on this site you'll find an incredible wealth of information. Useful and pertinent, and of course lots more links. I only gave you one on purpose. So as not to overwhelm.

Enjoy

Welcome aboard Scotty! Fancy meeting you here. This is a great forum with wonderful members all willing to share their experiences. This is where I generally am when I am not on my forum or facebook.

You seem to prefer cheeses I don't have much interest or experience with. I am one of the few people here that consider mozzarella a simple cheese to make if you take you time and are patient.

JMB - High Temperature Cheeses are generally much lower in moisture and don't "melt" or loose their fats when used in application where heat is applied - as Scotty mentioned smoking sausages. It probably would seem strange to most people that you would deliberately want to make a cheese that won't melt - but pictures a nice bratwurst where the cheese doesn't end up in the pot or on the skillet but stays in the sausage?
