You know, I have no idea why I did an 18% wash. I thought I had read that somewhere, and it was only much later that I realised that a wash is usually around 3%, but by then it was too late. So I was thinking the same. Lower brine %, and kept in a humidity box, I should get a different cheese. This cheese is over 60 days old, so what would you advise to age it to?
I am beginning to think that my fridge/cave runs with a low humidity too, and am wondering whether I should keep a container of water in there at all time, as my brie was very dried out also.
Jeff thanks for the cheese, although I don't know that I deserve it. I seems if I did one thing wrong, I did everything wrong. Now to try again.
