Now that we have more milk then i can handle, i have begun making cheese again. When we first got Ezzy and she gave birth to two beautiful doe kids, i was amazed at how much milk she gave. And i knew nothing about milking goats then. But Ezzy gave me a gallon a day then and now she is close to that again. I should have kept better records because the The Dairy Goat Association might want to hear of this amazing goat! She could win prizes!

Start with two gallons of milk. |
|
Heat milk, add rennet and culture, when curds are set, put in mold. |
|
After mold is removed, soak in brine for 4 days. |
|
Wax the cheese. Store for at least 5 months.
I also realized its difficult to take a picture while waxing a cheese round at the same time. |
This is the making of some nice Gouda, i hope. I will let you know in about 5 months when it has finished aging.
