A cheese as well Boofer!  You say you clear water washed the horseradish.  I assume you did that to raise the pH?  Could you also add a portion of water and drain and repeat until you hit your target?  I would love to try to make this but there is no way I could wait a WHOLE year, but if I did I would have to do some sampling in-between :).

Thanks for the cheeses guys.

I washed with water but also adjusted with a touch of baking soda to raise the pH from around 3 to 5.62. I waited while the horseradish pH stabilized.

Well, there was a degree of anticipation over that year, but I was able to work through it by focusing on Wensleydale, Tilsit, Saint Paulin, and Montasio. ;)
