Mould question
« on: April 01, 2013, 10:23:57 AM »
Caprine supply has some cheese moulds that are the size I have been looking foe...6" D and 6" H
But they have no drain holes at all. Will that be an issue if I use them for Stiltons?

Open bottom?  That's the only place I've seen whey dripping from a Stilton - I use Camembert hoops. I guess holes on the side are less important when its just a gravity drain.

A friend of mine made me a 6"x 9" SS mold (approximately) and drill as per my instructions,
now this may not be like the factory molds yet it works just fine, if you like the molds you have found just drill a few holes in the side :-\
