Hello from sunny Socal.
« on: February 13, 2015, 03:29:32 AM »
Hello, Am a avid cheese maker/brewer/sausage maker. And most anything that has to with food  ;D. I've been a member of this forum for a bit now so i final decide to post something and introduce myself. I been doing a lot of reading in this place and its been very helpful. I use to make a lot of fresh cheese and want to venture in to affinaging and making hard cheeses. Here is a little Stliton am working on   ^-^

Its barely 12 days old I got awhile to with it. But I hope it comes out great am getting a bit of ammonia smell coming from it so I started to give it more oxygen. And I think am going to pierce it this weekend.

Mine always produced ammonia early.  I air them for 1 hour a day at room temp.

Thanks Ive started doing that. Question= but do you take the cheese out of the ripening box (assuming that you use one) or leave in there with the lid completely off?

I don't use one but I just sit the cheese on a clean mat on top of the cheese cave for an hour.
