Thanks Free! I do plan to keep working with good milk. I am hoping to find some good cows milk, but goat milk is so much easier to find! I am glad to know that I can play around with cheap milk when making cheese though, I would rather throw away a crappy batch of $6 milk cheese than $12-$40...

Oh you reminded me, I have two little heads of cabbage in the frig....need to start some kraut! I love leftover dinner days...easy peasy.

Thanks for the great instructions Free! One question.....why alternate with warm and cool water baths for the milk? Can't you just use a cool water bath, maybe even with some ice added to cool the milk down more quickly? We are going back to the cheese store today to watch a winemaking demo...

I have an Aroma, it has 5 trays and spins automatically. The temp on it is about 150* per the manual. I have been using it a lot lately for lots of herbs form the garden, lavender flowers and we just did a batch of strawberries, they are yummy! I want to try some cherry tomatoes, mushrooms...
