I was faced with higher humidity outside my cave than inside.
Then I read some threads here about fans and draping cheesecloth with a source of water....
A problem.
As I read about the fans, I glanced over at my old (8 years) laptop computer that hadn't been powered up in quite some time. Under it sat its nondescript laptop cooler, also unused in the same length of time.
<Momentary flash of inspiration> A solution.
The laptop cooler was powered through a USB cable connected to the laptop computer. The USB cable delivered +5 volts to the cooler unit. But wait, I must have a 5 volt adapter somewhere in the house. Ta-da!!! I did. I opened up the cooler just to see about reversing the fan polarity, but that wasn't possible. And in the end it didn't matter at all anyway, because the unit works just fine to solve my humidity problem. I improved the humidity from around 50% to 80%.
You see that the temperature is wrong. That too is about to be corrected. I ordered a Johnson Controls temp controller. The next question on my cheese horizon is which style will be first to benefit from the improved curing conditions. I'm really leaning towards trying the colby again. Eh, it's all good. Whichever I do will be better, I am now certain.
