I don't know how you get away without pressing. I make cheese and have some large format ricotta cheese molds. Pull my paint strainer bag out of the fermentation bucket and drop into mold sitting in a colander over another bucket. Put a follower on top (a plate will work) and add 10 lbs of weight (a milk jug of water). Press overnight. Make sure that everything is sanitized and cover with a piece of 99 cent plastic paint drop cloth. Next morning pour into your secondary. After a week or so I rack it and run it through my cider filtration system, but that's another story.
