Keep in mind I'm new at this too. Only been making for a year or two, but basically yes. I will relate to brewing again since you have some previous experience there. You have ale and lager categories of yeast. This is your me so and thermo. Underneath that you have better yeast for...
sorry I'm a little late.... no the warmer the curds the better knit, as we call it. the better they hold together. ideally around 100-108° but when starting out just leave em at room temp. as soon as they are pressed this cheese does need to be refrigerted
Nope. Just dried and cleaned stomachs of young calved sliced up and brined to saturate the enzymes. Not exactly how they do it now in modern days but thats still pretty close to what we eat

Most differences in in cheese cone from procedure differences. Such things as times and temperatures. And just like in making beer with ale yeast vs lager yeast you have different strains of cultures or starters for different cheeses. it this cheese was made with a mesophilic starter culture...
Made up two pounds of Monterey Jack today while I was working on some sausage. I plan on smoking at least half of it upon completion in a month.
cutting the curd
pressing the cheese
Made these today. I changed it up a little bit leaving out the anise and allspice and cutting back on the heat little bit. I used 10g of cayenne and 3TBL of pepper sauce. Taste is good but didn't realize I had forgotten the salt. Oops. Also I tasted right out of the smoker and they were a...
