Title: Aging cheese
Post by: Moski on December 07, 2010, 03:02:58 AM
How do you guys age your cgeese. I have my regular house fridge and a basement that is currently hovering around 65F degrees thought it may go lower as winter settles in. I cant afford a new mini-fridge and regulator now so how do I set up a good work around?

Hi Moski and welcome to the forum. There is a ton of information on that subject on the forum. Just do a quick search of the subject, then get ready for a long read. The short answer though is that 65 degrees is too warm, and most modern refrigerators are too cold.

Moski, there's also a bunch of info and ideas here (https://cheeseforum.org/articles/2010/12/cheese-caves-for-hobby-cheese-makers/), maybe you can go with a cooler box until your weather gets cooler, good luck!
