Hey folks,
I have a large, virtually unused basement and I was wondering if any of you out there has created a cheese room/cave and if so, could you post some pics? I'm trying get a feel for the cost.

Sam I have built a meat/sausage curing room in the basement but it can only be used at certain times of the year depending on the weather. Right now it is 52* with 74% humidity, the humidity is adjustable but temperature adjustments are a bit more work
Hey Reg,
Do you have any pics? What materials did you use?
Thanks, Sam
Sam my room is in the basement on a north wall, concrete floor and exterior block wall. The room itself is typical 2x4 construction, insulated walls and ceiling and a pair of cheap doors. The circulating air is picked up off the floor in the main room and forced through 5" aluminum flex piping. The humidity is supplied by a cold mist humidifier and it all runs on a timer.
a few more photos
Nice!
Nice!. So would a window unit be the way that you control the temp? If you were going to try?

Hi Sam
I remember reading on the forum about people using coolbots to do this.
Search the forum and I suspect you will find something that will steer you in the right direction.
Make sure you post your eventual solution as I am definitely interested to see what works for you
Good luck
Mathew
About the same size as an unused closet in the house....
Sam, I'm not to sure about controlling temps as I know nothing about AC. I did spend a few minutes yesterday referencing the coolbot that was mentioned and it certainly looks like it would do the job in conjunction with an AC unit. I do know that the AC unit takes the humidity out of any room. After the holidays I'm going to have an in depth look at how these things work
Thanks everyone,
I just found this on the coolbot website. They have a cheesecave video
