i start Playing more seriously with making cheese so i need a press .

i looked on Google for a press plans . then i got an idea   i will convert a sausage press to a cheese  press. 

Man it worked great .now i got a cheese  press .

this feta cheese is my first test. 

Replace the container with a 16 cm pvc pipe that i drilled holes on one side a lid with holes and on one side a 15.5 cm plate to press .




This my feta cheese . now it will mature for 7 days .
 
Ahron, morning.....  Long time you been hiding...   Nice press.... Nice handle....   You hang weights or put rubber bands on that handle for pressure ???

Wow that's a great idea! I haven't made cheese in a while but once I get back in the swing of things I'd like to build a press. Yours looks quite easy to make - thanks for posting this!

Thanks David

Great Idea!  That's really thinking outside the stuffer.  How do you measure the amount of pressure you applying?

 

I press till it get hared and than i hang a tin of beans .

Cheese might be it's only purpose! After using the beast once I decided that a new 5# Lem would be better. Still waiting on that Lem, the Easter bunny didn't remember...
Smoke him. That's the last time there will be a memory lapse!...
