Wow!

Looking great! I'm still airing mine every day.

I have put this one in the cool room I didn't like the way it felt, it just seemed to soft, the cool room took care of that but the little white spots started to bug me so I used a dab of vinegar on them to see if that will clean them up. I also take it out for a walk at least once a day, I try to remember to do it twice.
My next problem is figuring out when to pierce it, I'll take a look at my notes I'm sure I've got it there.
The smells have changed

the wife says it smells good, just like creamy dirty feet, I'm not to sure about creamy, she's definitely got the feet smell right

Normally I believe it's at 3 weeks but could be wrong. Mine normally develop a ammonia odor that goes away after a few days. Then it smells great again.

That's a lot of blue. Do you pat down or rub the blue or just let it grow wild?

Depending on the blue I'm making, and the amount of blue development, I pierce mine between 10 and 14 days. And then again at 4 weeks (if it is aged longer than that)
That is a lot of surface growth. It's fine if you want it that way, but if you don't curtail it some, you can end up with a Gorgonzola style (inedible) rind.

Just let it go I never have done anything with my rinds.

Hey Harold!! Guess what I did yesterday!

H-K-J · November 29, 2017, 08:01:08 PM

Hey Al
That looks familiar

Al Lewis · November 29, 2017, 10:29:46 PM

Yeah I took a page out of your book and did 4 instead of 3. See how they ripen.

H-K-J · December 02, 2017, 11:58:27 PM

they seem to ripen a little faster we have been eating our last four (down to 1 and a half) very runny right now but they are goooooood.

Al Lewis · December 03, 2017, 01:47:33 AM

Yeah, that's my target, runny!!! Yum!

H-K-J · December 18, 2017, 02:17:39 AM

What it looks like now.
