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.
I have the exact same 3 level metal rack , I think its from ikea or something like that :P

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!
Tif
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.
