I have made the Just Jack and the Ale Soaked Trappist cheese, and both of those are pressed way too light, they didn't knit either. If I use one of her recipes, I compare pressing instructions from my other 4 books and I stick to 2 gallons of milk goes in the 4-1/2" mold, 4 gallons of milk goes in the 6" mold, and that's as far as I go. I do have a 1lb mold, it's a little bitty thing that I never use.
