pH Markers for Emmental? And Amt of shermanii?

[Lennie]

I'm getting some mold on this cheese.  Maybe its still too moist?  I took it out of the vacuum bag and wiped it off with a salt solution, and I'm letting it sit out for awhile so it will dry out a bit more.

I would definately say it's to wet. How long did you dry it before bagging? I usually wait 3 to 4 weeks.

Just a few days.  I have it out drying some more now at room temp (64F).

I would give it more time. 3 or 4 days will only allow the outside to dry. It will still weep if it's bagged to soon. In the cave you don't see it because it drys away but in the bag it can't so it weeps.
