Hi I'm a newbie.

I made a Parmesan 2 weeks ago and I am currently struggling with the humidity in my wine fridge. Seems a lot of people have this issue.

I am currently making a chive harvest cheddar.

I love cheese, the older and stinkier the better. I particularly love goats cheeses and brie.

Unfortunately, raw milk is not available in Ontario, so I am going to have to introduce myself to some farmers and try to barter. The the 'sale' of raw milk that's illegal.

I'm excited to continue this project and this board is so informative.

Hi Cheeselove, welcome, humidity conrol in a fridge as a cave is a common problem. Is your problem too high or low humidty?

If you look in the Equipment - Ripening Phase of our Wiki's (https://cheeseforum.org/articles/wiki/) you should get some ideas. Also read some of the threads in the forum's Equipment Boards. Also the Search tool works well if you ahve a specific problem.

Have fun here!

Welcome to the forum Cheeselove.

You can hang wet towels in your fridge to solve the problem in the interim. Later on look into getting an ultrasonic humidifier the one that gives cold vapor.

Good Luck
