Brie & Camembert - Brining Times

[Melbourne Cheese]

How long should one brine a camembert of about 350g in weight?  My recipe gives me figures for 125g and 250g and but there seems to be no pattern to the two lengths.  The brine is a 20% mixture.

1.25 hours should be sufficient Richard. I brined some recently that were about that size, for 1hr 10 mins and they were fine. Err slightly on the high side, you can't really overbrine, as salt take up reduces with time.

Cheers Bob.  Always a good help you are!
