A method and apparatus for discharging a dose of castable building material into a mold include introducing a supply of castable building material into a hopper. The castable building material in the hopper is spread evenly within the hopper. A mold configured to form a molded building product is positioned beneath the hopper, and the castable building material is discharged from the hopper into the mold. In one embodiment a discharge gate is configured to discharge the castable building material evenly into the mold while substantially reducing the need for lateral movement of the castable building material in the mold.
