I usually have 6 people sign up for class but only 5 of them show up, so I make the other pot of cheese. I have 6 roasters that I use for vats, and 6 molds and 6 presses. I have a few who keep coming back because it’s a fun thing to do. We laugh and joke all day, so it’s a nice social activity. Most only come to one class, but I’ve had about 4 come to 2 classes and I have one who has been to 4 classes. I told him he should just join the cheese club. We meet at somebody’s house and make cheese and drink beer and wine all day and sample cheese. You only have to pay for your ingredients that way.
I’m surprised that the Jack was dry, since you made it as a washed curd. My cheese that I made from that Just Jack recipe spoiled so I never tasted it. I hope that the Caldwell recipe is good, as I have about 18 2 lb cheeses in my cave aging now…
