Bit of a follow up, this cheese is looking pretty decent I think, at least for a first attempt. Got some nice coverage by the mold, it seems to be int he hols I poked and growing well. One concern, it sure is a *$&%^# trying to turn it without doing damage, and kind of creeps me out after I handle it how dark and slimy it is where I touch it. Part of the game I guess. And oh, it smells sooOOooo good.
