AC4Y Raw Prawn very nice looking cheese. I do have to try a Cam again. I have only made one and was not happy with the results. The flavour was really good but when I cut it open in the center there was some nice creamy parts and some liquid (whey?). I will have to figure out whether it is a draining issue or a ripening issue. None the less ready to try again.

Looking beautiful Andrew!!  Wish they were in my cave! 

Thanks for the cheese, John.
Without knowing the details of your make it's hard to tell but my first thought is that it might have ripened too fast. If that is the case, I would expect that the runny stuff was just under the rind since they ripen from the outside in.
If that was the problem, the solution is to keep them at about 13C for the first 2 weeks. By that time you should have a good coverage of PC and you can move them to a colder environment to complete the process.

8 weeks on and time to open.
Still a bit of a bar in the middle but that's no problem.
Suffice to say that I don't think it will last long. Just as well it's got a brother.
