Nice!

I bet it will be very good cheese too

I love homemade cheese. So far haven't had the courage to try swiss or cheddar. My gouda needs more work, Colby and mozzarella good. Pepper Jack needs half the peppers called for in the recipe. But good otherwise. Butter Kaise, well needs a lot of work.

Hello,

Cheddar is simple when you get the recipe down. Good one to try would be farmhouse cheddar. Very simple, and only needs to age for two weeks to a month.

Is Colby hard to make? I’ve been tossing around the idea of trying it.

no. it's easy. challenge is dividing the culture. I've found it's ready when dry. no aging required.

I used to make all my cheese from raw milk. Something I can no longer afford so looking for recipes for cheese with store bought milk. So I'd love your farmhouse cheddar recipe.

I've been reading all day about making bread and my husband wants me to try a sandwich bread recipe I found on King Arthur. He even bought a metal loaf pan

I do have a question about kneading surfaces. My counter top is granite floor tiles. The surface is fairly smooth but it's very cold. Could that be a problem?

do you have a glass pan ? yeast should not have a problem as long as the temp is 110 for the water to activate the yeast
