Cheese Maker’s Form
I am getting ready to go take an advanced cheese making class in Italian Cheeses (http://threeshepherdscheese.com/Texasclass2012.aspx) and it occurred to me that one particularly helpful tool for a cheese maker is the form for recording a particular cheese’s progress. While making a cheese it is a good idea to record the times, temperatures, ingredients, steps and pH so that you can compare variations and what caused a particular cheese to be great or bad.
My favorite form is the DJCheeseMakingRecord that DeejayDebi posted on the ChheseForum.com here: http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php?topic=2100.0
DeejayDebi posted both a PDF and an Excel spreadsheet of the form. Look for reply #6 on the link above for the downloads.
Happy Cheese Making!
