Hi Beth. I bought a wine fridge a few months ago and so far so good. It has two separate sections, where I can set different temperatures. It is also not too big.

I make several different goat cheeses, including a gouda that ages beautifully. I struggle keeping the aging cheese cool enough. Anyone have ideas on how to create a cheese-aging environment with temperature and humidity control? I've looked at beverage coolers. Anyone have experience with them? I don't need much space - just better control! Thank you.

Thought you all might enjoy this post from my blog, Together In Food, about a cheese-making class I attended recently, complete with a paneer cheese recipe: http://togetherinfood.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/building-your-bliss-...

as a chef i love cheese and have made fresh ricotta for the restaurant with local milk recently, i used it on housemade foccacia with marinated local eggplant, it went great but its a huge undertaking to replace all the ricotta we use with homemade....baby steps. does anyone have diy cheesepress instructions?

Linda wondering where in Western NY you are and do you make anything with your milk besides cheese?

Hi, I'm new. I have 5 dairy goats (Saanens). I usually milk 2, and I make goat cheese. I am thinking about milking my sheep next Spring. I live in Western NY. I have been making cheese for about 5 years, and am very interested in researching historic cheesemaking.

I have strained yogurt to make a cream cheese... but think I am going to try to make my own ricotta next week. Very busy this week is why I am putting it off. I will post my results.

Starting out small:

I made my first "cheese" last week. Ricotta. It was good. Perhaps I used too much vinegar, because the ricotta picked up a touch of it's flavor. But still. I was pleased. So with this behind me, I'm now more encouraged to try the next level.
