Even after pressing this was like picking up jello. Okay, maybe not that bad but I was surprised. I was sure it would pancake.

It leaked whey for days. I had to put a bowl under it. Finally settled down as the rind firmed up.  I bound it with cloth after a week.

I'm not sure about putting a vac on it so, at least for now, I'll use a ripening box.

Nice cheese Tim. That was the first cheese I made. I made it with dill seed instead of dill weed ( I bought the wrong thing in the States ). Mine was very soft at first also. It will firm up.
AC4U!

Thanks Mike. No spices this go around. Maybe next time.
