I figured I should post the pictures of my micro cheese system in the equipment section of the forum if I plan to keep updating them.

In case some didn't see my post in the introduction forum I have been building a micro cheese system that works as close as possible to the real deal.

I purchased the batch Pasteurizing vat and press table from Micro Dairy Designs. I made a couple modifications to that equipment and built a heated drain table myself.

Today is the first time trying out the drain table with some cheddar.

Wow! What a setup...

I got to try out the drain table for the first time yesterday and it worked great!

Here are a few more pictures.

Envy!

Nice setup!! Drain table looks really good! All the best for making future great cheese!!

I'm green with envy over your new setup 

Tough decision.  Gibson Model O or a micro cheese setup.  Hmmm.

I would have to say both!

I made a 17 minute video showing the equipment being used to make a batch of cheddar if anyone wants to check it out.

Great video.  Thanks for sharing!

Where in Oregon do you live, maybe I can help you test your cheese... by eating it  Beautiful setup; a pipe-dream for me but I can enjoy it vicariously through you.

I'm East of Roseburg. I'm guessing about 3 1/2 hours or so. 

Do you know what the max weight and pressure the MDD press is rated for?

I know it is quite a bit with both weights on one arm.  I will see if I can test the maximum.
