Ok, i will admit not having much - if any previous interest in making cheese, but yesterday, I found out my landlords dad has a small dairy business that he sells fresh, non-pasteurized cows milk on a honor system each day. This person has a self-sustaining farm where he grows and mixes his own feed for his cattle and chickens. If I understood him right, everything he uses, he tries to keep organic as possible.
The guy is super nice and just yesterday gave me seven 5 gallon carboys to help with my brewing needs. I've known him for several years, but never realized he sold dairy.
Having this fresh resource at my fingertips, how hard and most importantly, how expensive would it be for me to dip my feet into cheese making?
I will be upfront, I've never been on the cheese forum at all and have absolutely no idea what it takes to make cheese. But surely having fresh cows milk a quarter mile up the road must be a good thing for making cheese?
Any advice would be appreciative.
