Title: Jarlsberg Type #1 Mesophillic MM100

Make date: 3/1/2018

I'm a week into the 4 week warm cycle. I'm trying to hold at 80 F.

When I took it out of the cold ripen there was some serious flattening so I bound the sides with 120 grade cloth. Worked okay for a while but then tried to mushroom (see pics). I took the binding off. I'm considering other ideas to stop spread ...

Smells really nice!

A new grand baby took my attention away from this and rightly so.

I was ready to scrap it so I cut it in half. Not a ton of holes but the smell was butter with a hint of OMG.

I put it back together and vac'ed it. Let it rest for a few months.

I'm making another this weekend along with a Gruyere.

Renamed to Ya'llsberg.
