Okay, I’m relieved. I took my CoJack out of the press this morning and it really did feel nice and firm. The extra pressing time (with high weight) seems to have done the job.
After a day spent in the wine fridge it is now exactly as I had hoped it would be. Only time will tell if it was worth all of the trouble but at this point I’m really happy with it. I wish you all could have saw my daughter’s face when I showed it to her tonight.
This is by far my largest wheel to date. It is 8” diamemter x 5” tall and it weighs in at just a tad over 6 lbs.
So, here are the pics. The coloring is nice and the wheel looks good. If it tastes half as good as it looks I’m going to be really happy.
Also….
Glad to hear that your Jack came together, Rich. Make sure you let us know how it tastes when you crack it open.
