Wow, you’re an expert!
I’ve never made cheese; only yogurt. I just have a bunch o’ ‘book-learnin’.
We should do Cheese, on the cooking thread.
I was watching some videos the other day, by a ‘prep lady’ who didn’t think that Mylar was necessarily the way to go with dried beans. I’ll try to find it again.

Cheese and sourdough would be great topics on your thread.
I don’t know of any other way to store beans and such in a material that isn’t oxygen permeable. Except a can, of course. Those can’t be too big because of weight. And they rust.
While Mylar needs structural support. And buckets and Mylar can be chewed through by rodents. But one can seal Mylar themselves and canning would be more expensive.
So depends on one’s particular situation.
If you come up with a 3rd option, let me know!
If you’ve made yogurt, then you’ve made cheese. Dump that yogurt into a colander lined with paper towels and in a bowl. Leave in the fridge overnight and you’ll have a type of cream cheese. Use the whey to make ricotta or in other cooking or feed the chickens.
