QuoteIs it too late for my cheese
I have no idea. Two things usually need to happen for this cheese before salting:

1) Acidity needs to drop to 4.5-4.8.
2) It needs to meld together and become stable

Both of those usually take 12-24 hours after you start. If it happened for you in 8, great, go ahead and salt. Once you salt, no sense in stopping, you already slowed down the acid.

Does blue cheese get a bloom on the outside?  Right now mine looks pretty much like it did when I started.

yeah they get green\blue on the outside.
Expand on your make.

I salted too early, misread the directions.  Instead of sitting overnight, it was salted within a couple of hours.
