 I hadn't realized you could press it the day you made it. I guess I'd

Its my understanding that it ages presses after it drains.  depending upon 
the amount and type made this can vary in length.  For many cheeses the first 
steps could be done in a day.  The true aging process is when it comes out of 
the press.
