Cheese press
I finished and shipped my sisters cheese press today. She has the molds so I just supplied the mold followers. .
The crank handle is turned down for shippng. With the supplied springs can go to 110 pounds force.

That is one beautiful cheese press!
I am so jealous!
My cheese press consists of timber resting on books at one end a a selection of rocks from my garden that I weigh and use to press the cheese.
Very primitive, but have made some nice havartis, gruyere, cheddar and a few others.
No luck with the camemberts though!
Nice work!

Hi Nuynai,
I started with Home Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll, and moved on to 200 Easy Homemade Cheese Recipes by Debra Amrein-Boyes.
Have had success with many of the recipes. They are easy to follow and measures are Imperial (not so good for us in Oz)
Both are available through Amazon.
Also the CheeseForum.org site is a great forum for advice.
(Bit like this one but the humour is better here!)
Hope that helps
