A cloth, such as is used on the racks in Cheddar cheese manufacture, is thrown over the draining board, and the molds are set side by side on top cf this —Brick cheese in the molds. A cloth is placed under the molds. 318. Filling the Molds. The table is placed close to the vat, and the operator stands between it and the vat. With a curd pail he dips the curd out of the vat and fills it into the molds. The whey goes through the cloth and the holes in the draining boards, and rims down the table into a whey gutter. Care should be exercised to get just the same amount of curd into each mold so that the cheese, when the curd is all pressed tight together, will be about three or four inches thick, and will weigh six pounds whiJe green. Wooden followers that just fit in the molds are then put on top of the curd. 319- Pressing the Cheese. One or two bricks are placed on top of the follower in each mold for pressure. In an hour or two the mold is turned over and the pressure applied to the other side. This may be done.
