I've been brewing beer and mead for a decade, so I'm used to issues of contamination - although it's very hard to make yourself sick with beer. Worst case, it tastes bad and you have a little bit of gastrointestinal distress, but cheese is a different beast!

I have friends who raise goats, and it sounds like it's time to give them a call. I'll err on the side of safety and read more on home pasteurization. Thanks for the info!
