Hello Everyone!

[hismaimai8888]

I keep a tiny herd of goats (tiny in number) and I love using their milk. I've made feta, chevre, farmhouse, mozzarella, and ricotta. Now I'm ready to venture into hard cheeses and at the suggestion of a friend, joined here. In trying to find a cheese press, I'm lost. In trying to figure out exactly what all I will need for hard cheeses, again I'm a little lost. So I'm here to learn all I can.

Welcome to the forum. I would recomend the sturdypress either order one or make one (plans are on their website) http://sturdypress.com

Or a Dutch press (a long lever on a hinge, mine is mounted on a wall).
Very simple.

Hi,
I have about the same experience as you, and am also new to the forum. I am on my 3rd hard cheese.
I also have a herd of Lamancha dairy goats, and use their milk. I have a cow as well, but I am not milking her at the moment.
I bought the sturdypress and I am very happy with it. Good luck on your cheese making adventures!!
