The Kickstarter project ends in 44 hours, and then I will get all the funds ($1450 so far!) to put into the cheese making.
I've already ordered and received all the cultures I need, a 10 gallon NSF stainless stock pot, a hot plate for warming the milk and curds, extra probes for the digital thermometer, and a pH meter.
I still need a salometer, the arduino microprocessor and sensors (for the fridge), and a few more molds for different shapes of cheese.
Next week I'm going to pay a visit to the CA Dept. of Food and Agriculture Milk & Dairy Food Safety office in downtown Oakland to start the certification process so everything is legal and above-board with the regulating agencies. Also, a few friends are coming over to get a hands-on lesson in making a wheel of hard cheese. Not sure what we're making yet, but I'll post photos of the process.
Everything is coming together nicely so far. Very exciting!
