LGC064 – Is Home Cheese Making Worth It?

13/04/2017 By Gavin Webber 1 Comment

During this episode, I reply to a statement that I often get on my YouTube channel that boils down to; is home cheese making worth it financially and does it contain chemicals and it would be quicker to go to the store and buy it?

I know what you’re thinking, but I replied anyway and broke down the statement into its three parts during this show.

    Gavin!
    You are so VERY correct! It is much less expensive to make your own……anything! Cheese not withstanding. I make much of my own food. I buy the necessary equipment as it is needed and it is a one time purchase. To make what I need is cheaper because I make only what is needed and I make only what will be eaten. NO WASTE! I don’t have lots of plastic, cardboard etec…to throw away because, I dont use very much processed…anything any more. As I learn how to make something, I get the equipment, which is usially the first investment and look for it used if possible or get it for free from someone who is not using theirs and want to be rid of it. Then, I make the item, test it to see if it is to my and my families’s liking, make adjustments if needed and on we go. That item is no longer purchased at the store. I have done this with:

    Sausage,
    Vinegar
    Wine
    Beer
    Cheese
    Ground meats of every kind
    Bread and all baked goods
    All pasta
    Laundry soap
    Bath soap
    Coffee
    Vegetables
    Herbs
    And will soon be grinding my own flour
    Wool and cotton(growing my own cotton this year) for clothing
    Spinning wheels
    2 weaving looms
    Natural dying
    Raw milk

    There was a bad series of snow storms in the north eastern USA where I live. People were scrambling to get to the store to buy food. Me? I just smiled….

  • Great Resource!
    by olivestones from United States

    I have been learning to make cheese for the past year. Gavin's podcast and video series has been a tremendous resource for me. His love for the cheese-making craft is evident in the amount of research he will perform in order to answer a listener's cheese question. All thumbs up for the amount of time and energy he puts into his quality podcast! ...And he cracks me up with his attempts at pronunciation!

  • Outstanding Info on Cheesemaking!
    by Sablwolf from United States

    If you are interested in anything to do with cheese, this is the podcast for you. Host Gavin Webber takes you through an aspect of cheese making, interviews with other people who are doing it, a current cheese-related news segment, and answers questions listeners have submitted in each episode. I've been quite amazed at his depth of knowledge, and he's provided answers to several problems I've encountered as well. Top rate!
