sticking it to big gouda: part 1

I am attempting Gouda for the first time. I am telling myself that it's going to bomb horribly, so that if it's edible I will feel like a queen of cheese.

I had two gallons of milk that had to be used, because four more gallons came today. I am rigging up my roaster oven to be a water bath for the pan of milk. This can't possibly work.
