Duh! You are correct, sir. I figured there was a simple reason my number came out different.
So, any update on this? My own beer cheese turned out rather awful, all things considered. I'm curious if a different ale would have been a better choice.

Mine has been aging since I made it. I'll pull it out (maybe tonight) and try it. Last I remember, it tasted fine.
I used a pale ale I think. Next time I'm going with a dark beer to get some of that cool coloration that I've seen in other beer cheeses.
I'd like to get a nice cheese before experimenting again. I might use what is left of the 2 gallons and make a larger cheese and quarter it before waxing/sealing (Got to remember to check that I have vacuum bags for the sealer!)

I had to abandon mine, as it developed dark green and white fluffy mold on the outside and inside of the wax.
Make Beer Cheese Soup with it! Worked for me!

It's a nice cheese, but nothing out of the ordinary. Didn't get too sharp, tastes just like mild cheddar from the store. I melted some on crackers and, for whatever reason, that's much more tasty than the plain cheese.
This cheese is about 5 months old.

Right after I posted that pic above, my dog grabbed it and buried it in the back yard. Argh.
Wow.
I wonder how well that cheese would pair with roast dog?

I'm happy I don't have dogs. But I saw cat hair on a few of my cheeses.

I'd wouldn't trade all the cheese in the world for my dog.
I won't say what I think about my wife's cat.

Wow, awesome!
