Very envious. I am hoping I can do something like this in a few years
-
Wow, it looks Great! I'm jelous.
-
very nice Steff-can't wait to get up there and see it and get some of your delicious goat milk. The room looks great, what is the wall covering?
-
What kind of cheese will you be making? What's the other half of the space look like?
-
Looks great, congratulations.
Walls look like FRP, alias dairy board to me. Am I right?
-
wow, looks very hygenic! Where in the Catskills are you?
-
Thanks everyone. I am having fun!
Walls are just OSB painted with high gloss oil based paint.
The other side is a fridge, stainless steel counter with a few wine coolers under it.
I was pressing a wheel with my old not so pretty press so I did not show you. Mike is building my new press today so I will post a pic of the other side when ready.
I am in Fallsburg, NY
I will mostly be making raw goat cheese.

What are you using the pasteurizer for ...fresh cheese ?
Patty
-
Yes In order to sell fresh cheese it must be pasteurized. I also use it to make all my cheeses but I could have done with something else if I did not want to make fresh cheese.
-
Nice Stef congrats!
-
Well done!!! When I see a picture like that I realize what a noob I am.....
-
Even with my room I feel like a newbie compared to these guys.
-
nice room. we just finished ours as well. it falls more under commercial kitchen type than cheese room, but I use it to do my cheese. I was told that it will make grade B standards if I want it to. I would post photos.. but I dont know how. LOL
I do cheese classes in mine and can do about 4 people comfortabley moving around and cheesing. We both lost our jobs a few years ago, and got into small dairy. currently have 4 milkers and one first calf heifer for spring, and a couple steers. I also have a couple Finn sheep that I milk, for a change of pace. all this AND classes make for a decent income. Pays the bills anyway.
is that a pasturizer in the back of the room? congrats on your beautiful room and I hope it gets LOTS and LOTS of use!

Wow...I have a kitchen lol really nice room!
One day I will have a more dedicated setup but for now, just have to keep using the family kitchen, sink and counters lol
-
Yes the vat doubles as a pasteurizer.
Seems as if I am in there everyday, oh wait I am in there everyday!
-
Do sell your cheese commertially? Is that why you pasturize? I hope to learn from you all about lincensing. I would love to get that out of the way.
-
Yes, In order to sell fresh cheese in NY it must be pasteurized. I also sell raw aged cheeses.
