Title: Through the Looking Glass.
Post by: Cartierusm on January 12, 2009, 08:35:50 AM: Dam I should have bought glass door refrigertors so I can watch my cheese without opening the door.

I might hook up a spare webcam I have to the inside of the Blue cheese cave so you all can watch it progress. Also the webcam has a time lapse function. The problem is getting light into the cave without heat. Also some molds don't like the light.

So you are thinking down the lines of the famous April 2007's Cheddarvision (http://cheeseforum.org/Bits_Bites/News.htm) (see two links)?

It has a flash so heat wouldn't be an issue and you really don't need video as you don't need that much data... it would be pretty boring video. ::)

Having a machanic look at it to see whether it is worth saving or not.
