Made a Caerphilly yesterday. All went well. Pressed in the new press. It is in the brine this morning. Looks and smelled wonderful. Have a great day all!

Keep us posted. That is a cheese I've often thought of making.
How do you like your new press? A good press is another thing on my long 'cheese' wish-list. I've currently got a fresh parmesan being subdued under a stack of metal weights. :)

The press worked like a charm. My only complaint was the mold that I used. I used a 4" x 15" white pvc mold and it was very hard to flip the cheese and reinsert into the mold. I went out and got a 6" x 8" so it should be easier from here on. I made the follower for it today, so next one will be a thicker wheel. Cheese came out nice however, nice little 3lb cylinder 4" x 10".

4 x 10 sounds just about perfect to me. Sometimes the not so squared cheeses can be a PITA to reinsert especially when they are soft cheeses.

What I have noticed on my 7.25 wide wheels is that they are what I would consider thin, so I am hoping that the 6 wide wheel with be substantially thicker. Should help my swiss eye development as well.
