First Feta

[nym]

Hi All

I'm really pleased with how my first feta turned out and how surprisingly easy it was to make   

My only concern is that (after five weeks) the cheese is developing a slight sliminess. I'm not too worried as it still tastes fine and I've read on this forum that it is not harmful. But I would love to know how to cure it.
I have it stored in the fridge in 8% brine made as follows

1 litre water
90g salt
1/2 tsp CaCl2
1/4 tsp vinegar

Any suggestions please?

I think more cacl on the brine might help.

I agree with AnnDee.  Add another 1/2 tsp of CaCl2 to the recipe.  Rinse any slime off and put it into new brine.

Thank you AnnDee and Kern. I'll give it a try.
I'm still very pleased with my effort despite the slight slime
