Title: Sir Stinker the First
Post by: WisconsinDan on June 14, 2015, 03:04:50 AM
Roughly Followed the Pholia Farm's Washed Rind Recipe, but I used ARN instead of what the recipe called for. Plus I decided to make a wash out of some homebrewed Chimay clone my father made awhile back. After 9 days of washing I think I am starting to smell a whiff of gym socks although it may just be my imagination smelling the ale a bit differently. The think the 1st pic was the day after the make. The 2nd is today.

Humidity started dropping a bit low and I tried to remedy the problem with a sanitized rag and a cup of water in the container. Left the rag hanging over the end and long story short my cheese was not on high enough ground and I got a soggy mess and had to toss the batch.
