[Cheese] forgot cheesecloth

[Eric Denman]

Hi all,

Dilemma is this:

I started making a 2gal batch of gouda today, and realized I had no more
cheesecloth on hand.  I made a trip to the housewares store after adding the
rennet to the milk (while it was curdling, I had an hour to spare), but they
were closed because it's Labor Day.  Screwed.

Wondering which of the following options is best:

1) leave the un-cut curds in the pot overnight and just continue making
cheese after I obtain some cheesecloth in the morning
2) refrigerate the un-cut curds overnight and ""
3) something else?

Any advice would be most helpful, especially if it's received soon.

thanks,
Eric
