Title: Brevibacterium wash
Post by: Slinkybambi on May 08, 2011, 08:26:30 AM
Hi everyone, I am making my first reblochon and I am not sure how I am supposed to make up my solution for washing. Can anyone help me with suggestions? I have b.linens but not sure how to make up the wash. 

Thanks, look forward to some ideas.

Hi Slinkybambi, may I suggest you post in the 'Introductions' section so that everyone gets familiar with who you are and what kind of cheese you do. It's easier to help each other knowing what cheeses you have already made and what milk you are using, where in the world you are located, etc. Also a good way to have board members introduce themselves to you back.

For Reblochon the wash is actually very simple. It's just a brine. No need to add any B.Linen to it; just use clean, non-chlorinated or filtered water with 3%-4% salt.  B.Linen should be inoculated into the cheese on your recipe already and this isn't a very stinky cheese to begin with.
