No, not a beer belly. I like to think of it as voluptuous* cheesy curves.
My washing regimen is every third day. Last wash was Saturday...then again today...next is Friday. I don't need an excuse to open the bottle (watch it, george!
). The two commercial liqueurs I was contemplating were pretty sweet. My raspberry has some sweetness, but also has a higher acidity level. I'm not sure, but I think that is preferable. So far, the geo & linens seem to live okay with it.
I've previously washed with
Moscato and
Vouvray.
Epoisses is washed with brandy (marc de Bourgogne). Other cheeses are washed with Sauternes, pear mash, grape must, ale. Imagination, hope, and a sense of adventure are prerequisites in this pursuit.
