Founder and owner of Cheesemaking, Graham Redhead provides a passion for cheese that is truly contagious as participants who have attended one of his cheesemaking classes will testify. With a life time of experience in the dairy industry from the dairy farm to the factory, working for both Government and private industry, Graham has a vast knowledge of the cheese and the dairy industry. He has formal qualifications in Food Technology and Business and is an active member of several industry associations. This expertise led Graham to develop Australia’s first Farmhouse Cheesemaking course in 1997 which is the predecessor of the current Intensive Cheesemaking courses. Graham combines his technical expertise with his passion for cheese to provide all participants with very simple ways to make great tasting cheese in their own homes. When you leave one of his Intensive Cheesemaking Courses you will have an immense amount of knowledge and the confidence to be able to create literally hundreds of cheeses in your own home. Graham continues to provide training and advice to commercial manufacturers and travels regularly to ensure that his skills remain relevant in the commercial industry.

Deb joined us at Mango Hill for our Intensive Cheesemaking Course just 10 days ago, and her batch is thriving:

✔️ Marinated Persian Feta

✔️ Vacuum-sealed Cheddar ready to age

✔️ Handcrafted Brie blooming nicely (with the help of a dedicated cheese sitter while away!)

Fresh quark and lactic curd have already been devoured. Outstanding effort, Deb

Fancy a proper cheesemaking day in Melbourne before Christmas?

We’re running our intensive at Brighton Secondary College, Brighton East VIC, on Saturday 12 December 2026, 8.00am–4.30pm. Places are capped at 12 so Graham can stay with you on the vat — you warm the milk, add cultures, cut and hoop the curd yourself, then take home cheddar, brie, quark, Persian feta, a soft fresh cheese, and cultured buttermilk (plus morning tea, lunch, and a light w**e-and-cheese afternoon tea).

Tickets are $385 and include a 60-page recipe booklet. Book here: https://cheesemaking.com.au/shop/melbourne-saturday-12-december-2026/

If you’ve never made cheese before, which one would you be most excited to take home — brie or cheddar?

Quick one for the brine-tub crowd: does your cheese float? Good. It's meant to!

Our latest Technical Series article from Graham is all about water brining: how to work out brine strength properly (250 g of salt in 1,000 g of water gives you a 20% brine, not 25%), why non-iodised salt does the job and fancy gourmet salt doesn't add anything, and why salt, calcium and pH should be treated as three separate dials. Keep in mind that about 0.15% calcium chloride and a pH of roughly 5.2 are conservative starting points for when a recipe is silent, not universal targets.

There's also a really practical bit on looking after your brine. If you reuse it, strain it, label it and keep it cold. If it turns slimy or ropy, smells off, or a dodgy cheese has been in it, tip it out. One more tip: brine is very corrosive, so keep drips off your fridge floor.

Do you start fresh each time, or do you have a trusty brine you've kept going for months? Tell us how you manage yours. 👇

Our Google listing is sitting on a 5.0 from 194 reviews, and we're genuinely chuffed.

The reviews are specific, too. One person called the intensive day a bucket-list item that lived up to the expectation. Another said Graham was full of tips for carrying on at home.

If you've been to a workshop, would you leave us a Google review when you get a moment? It really helps the next person decide whether to book. Just search "Cheesemaking AU" on Google Maps.

What's the one tip, from a class or from your own kitchen, that improved your cheese the most?
