I have made a few cheeses prior to taking this class and some turned out and some did not. I didn't have any idea why some cheeses failed. Merryl taught me why I was having problems. Simple things such as how to calibrate my thermometer, using a ph tester, using a water jacket while making cheese, taking notes, and other little helpful tips.
Having a small goat dairy farm and wanting to make all my own dairy products I feel that this is the only class I will need to take in order to accomplish my own home cheesemaking.
I traveled from the state of New York to take Merryl's cheesemaking class and it was well worth the trip.
