Looking forward to the seeing the progression.
Somewhere, some long time ago, milk decided to reach toward immortality… and to call itself cheese.

Thanks emersonc. Traveling for work is slowing me down but it's nice to have something to play with when I'm home.

Me too  8)

I was hoping that my Army pension would knock this out pretty quick but domestic harmony ...

I did get a large fridge and proper sensor/switches to practice some natural rinds. A prelude to the larger unit. I'm sedated for now.

Sensor pic: 54 F at 90% ... I like it.

Inside pic: I filled the $24 Equate humidifier from Walmart 2 weeks ago. Holds a gallon and still has water.

The large wheels are all Gruyere. The two small ones are cloth bound and coming up on a year. Now that I have the right space I going to open and age these for a few more months. The large wheel under dome is the first natural to age in the right stuff. I'm excited ;D

Working on replacing the glass with wood slat shelving.  Wood is cut waiting on me.

Coming along nicely Tim. I did a Gruyere washed the rind with a Gewürztraminer solution and it was awesome.
