Title: Mould question
Post by: steffb503 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 (http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,9796.msg72616.html#msg72616) (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 :-\
