Well goats can be pretty stinky anyway... I had almost a gallon of lovely raw goat milk from my volunteer "job", and I decided to try another washed rind. Trouble is, I kept no records, because I was just playing around and I have no idea what date I made it. I think it would have been about 5 to 6 weeks ago. I based the make on the recipe in Caldwell for Pholia Farms washed rind using FD. I did not have any of the ripening starter, so I just did not worry about that. I washed it regularly with light brine made from white wine and salt. Today I measured the pH of the rind at 7.7, and cleaned off the blues one more time and then wrapped it in ripening paper. It had a much more pink color that in the image, and it has quite a lot of give under the rind! Looks like it will be tasty in a few more weeks!! Funny that my other experiment with a stinky did not get much pink, even though I tried innoculating the light brine with a purchased cheese. And this one turned pink without trying....
