I'm posting here because I can't find the exact thread where Debi said that ideal press temps are between 84-88F. Based on this I have designed (but not yet built) an insulated box where I would press all my cheese. However it does not even seem like Debi or any of you have such a contraption, so I am thinking it is unnecessary, especially since I am strapped for time and not looking to spend any extra money. What do you all think?
Say my kitchen gets down to 55F overnight, what if I "press in the pot" with a lamp on inside for some warmth?
One of the reasons I am rethinking my approach is because I just stopped in at the beverage people and spoke to them about it, and none of them had ever bothered to manage the pressing temperature except in one instance when the acid production, not the knit, was the concern.
