Made Cheshire yesterday, followed Gavs recipe from YouTube. Paid very close attention to my temps. Only difference is I use double strength rennet. As of 7 AM this morning it’s being pressed at 50 pounds for required 12 hours but the rind hasn’t fully been created yet, almost. I still have it being pressed. How much longer should I press it for? I’m guessing increasing the weight is a terrible idea? What’s the worst that happens if you don’t form a solid rind?

I was planning on checking on it again at 7PM. Any advice would be appreciated. I’m very curious about the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of rennet. I definitely got a fantastic curd set yesterday, maybe I had one too many white claws and added an extra cheddaring turn lol but I don’t think so :p

Everything is dialled in nicely now, really happy how these babies are settling into their new pot. Definitely need to start a tent just for seedlings 🌱

Id like that thank the community here for supporting my small side gig over the last few years. First when selling San Pedro and now with my true calling Lophs. As things move forward I just need to adjust slightly.

Its been apparent to me recently that charging 12$ shipping (tracked) is just not feasible. Was costing 22$ even to ship an envelope (standard size) so going forward I thought Id adjust things slightly and see how it works out.

Ill charge 30$ for 50 peyote seeds shipped in the post with a stamp and bubble envelope for 5$, not tracked so if there are any issues Ill resend your order, haven’t had a problem thus far. I only charge shipping once for multiple lots of 50 seeds sold.

Getting close to 1400 seeds in the inventory. Crazy harvest last month :)

Thanks for your attention folks!

Second year at this hobby, started off with two cutting boards guided by dowels and pressed with 1:1 gym weights. Worked good enough but often had to watch carefully as the weights would shift and misalign the follower (lid) leaving crooked, and ruining the shape of the finish product. Also lugging around 50lb from the garage to the kitchen was get old.

Decided to MacGyver myself something simple with scraps of wood I had at home, even reusing the base of the old press for the base of the new one. 9.5$ for the hardware from home depot. Based it on a 5 in pivot with a 10lb weight, gives me a range of 2:1 to 5:1. Looking forward to the next press of curds!

Big harvest this month :)
