hello i have old fridge, and on its lowest working it is 9,5C on the bottom and 10,5 C on the top shelf.
i have termostat too which i can use and regualte it around 12 or 13C
my question is should i leave it s it is or should i target for 12 13C?
cheeses that i have made and planing to made are blue cheese, white brie type, also i have Gouda and planing to make cheddar and similar varieties.

thanks

If you plan on using a single cave for aging moldy cheeses and non-moldy, you may find they all become moldy. I use separate caves. Caldwell has a good chart for RH and temp guidelines for different types of cheeses
before goats, store bought milk = chevre & feta, with goats, infinite possibilities, goatie love, lotta work cleaning out the barn!

11-13 will work until you move to normal refrigerator
