You should wait ten days for the rind to develop before moving to your cave.  Then you can cover it with butter muslin and let it age out.

Al,

you mean keep it at room temp for 10 days?  The humidity at this altitude (7,500ft) is very low, wont it dry out too much?

Our humidity here is a lot higher.  I simply sit mine on top of my cave and flip daily until the rind forms.

Humidity today is around 16% and that's high for this time of year, single digits are the norm!  I have the bucket open about 1" at the bottom I will check the humidity when I get home tonight,  temp is around 55F.
