I have put this one in the cool room I didn't like the way it felt, it just seemed to soft, the cool room took care of that but the little white spots started to bug me so I used a dab of vinegar on them to see if that will clean them up. I also take it out for a walk at least once a day, I try to remember to do it twice.
My next problem is figuring out when to pierce it, I'll take a look at my notes I'm sure I've got it there.
The smells have changed :o the wife says it smells good, just like creamy dirty feet, I'm not to sure about creamy, she's definitely got the feet smell right ::)

Normally I believe it's at 3 weeks but could be wrong.  Mine normally develop a ammonia odor that goes away after a few days.  Then it smells great again. ???

That's a lot of blue. Do you pat down or rub the blue or just let it grow wild?

Depending on the blue I'm making, and the amount of blue development, I pierce mine between 10 and 14 days.  And then again at 4 weeks (if it is aged longer than that)
That is a lot of surface growth. It's fine if you want it that way, but if you don't curtail it some, you can end up with a Gorgonzola style (inedible) rind.
