So I periodically get an itch to learn some homesteading skills, and the turn has come to cheese.

After an initial look, it seems hard to do in my apartment, especially fitting a good cheese press, and a climate controlled storage.

Is it feasible to make cheese from an apartment? Do you know of any resources for suitable adaptations or other handy tips? Have you tried yourself? What worked well and what is better avoided altogether?

I haven't done it but I know there a few different easy cheese to make. Mozzarella and cottage cheese are supposed to be simple and don't require any special temperature control. Ricotta can me made in a few hours as well
