LIBRARY OF CHEESEMAKING

Queso Diego has a collection of cheesemaking equipment and supplies for most of your cheesemaking needs. To make a request from the library, find what you need on the Library of Cheesemaking Google doc then e-mail <qd-library-request@googlegroups.com> with your request.  Note: only paid members have access to the library.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PAPER PLATES, NAPKINS OR UTENSILS?

Do you have any paper plates, napkins or plasticware at your place?  If you have anything that’s just sitting around and taking up space, you’re welcome to bring it to the meeting to donate to Queso Diego. We’ll put it to good use!

MEETING LOGISTICS 

  • We’re meeting in the MEZZANINE area (walk in the main entrance, past the main bar and gift shop towards the Barrel Room.  Before the Barrel Room, use the stairs or elevator to go UPSTAIRS to the Mezzanine). (While the Mezzanine has seating, it’s not a bad idea to keep a camping chair in your car as a backup in case of a last-minute change of room.)
  • Upon arrival, please check-in at the check-in table.
  • Please set up your potluck item ON THE TABLES. Any beverages you bring can be set up on the top of the bar. We have labels and label stands, grab a sharpie and label what you bought.
  • Members are encouraged to bring homemade cheese, acpotluck item, or a beverage. If bringing alcohol, only homemade alcohol is allowed (NO COMMERICAL ALCOHOL). Better yet, enjoy some of AleSmith’s tasty beverages!
  • Potluck/socializing begins at 6:30pm. The meeting starts at 7 pm.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
