Spacers for cheeses on rack press

jonanotjones · Aug 21, 2014

I want to make my own press, I'm gonna build the frame and use a trolley jack for compression, net curtains for the cheese wraps, the final part is the Acadia racks, does anyone have ideas about what I could use as a substitute spacer between the cheeses.
Advice on building presses would be helpful too!

I'm sure it was an accident, but you would have better luck posting this in the cheese section

The best I can offer is a blog post I came across recently. There are no plans for the press, but it looks incredibly simple and seems to be effective.

Good luck, be sure to post your results!

Haha, no, when I say cheeses, I mean compressed apple pulp wraps.
Thanks anyway!

Anything flat will do, timber, plywood, hdpe plastic. If you use plywood make sure it is painted with something like polyurethane.

I plan to use the bottoms of plastic bread trays when I make mine...just cut off the sides and viola! Instant cheese rack. Let us know what you decide on and how it works.
