I have been reading a lot of the posts on making cheese and am very excited to start making some. I just have a couple of quick questions:
What is the maximum temperature for making cheese? The reason I ask is because my house is usually in the mid 70s and dry all year round (Tucson, AZ) and that seems like it might be too warm and dry for cheese. I would like to try a bunch of different types of cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, bleu)
Has anyone tried using a cooler for a "cave"? I was thinking by using some frozen water bottles and maybe a container of open water, I could dial in the right temperature and humidity ranges with an external gauge.
Any other recommendations or starting advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for the help!
