Aging - Sunlight Affect?
« on: September 04, 2010, 07:04:07 AM »
Hey Guys,

Just purchased a small wine fridge with a glass front door for my cheese cave and i was wondering
if people are covering the front doors up (alfoil etc)?? I am not to sure but was concerned that the
sunlight could get in and affect the cheese?

Cheers Rob.

Are you talking about sunlight or any light? If you think about it, there aren't many caves with natural light filtering in.

Here's a link I posted earler: http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,4414.msg33865.html#msg33865

I think I would limit the light entering the cave.

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.

Hey Boofter,

Yes i meant any light, it seems all the wine cooler/fridge caves i see people just leave the glass exposed.

I was thinking under the same lines as you, beer will keg skunked/oxidized when exposed to light
