How can I increase humidity in my cheese fridge?

[Bonemarrow]

I put a dish of water in but it did not change. Any suggestions?

A Humidifier? I am not sure if that would add too much?

edit** I should say that i do not make cheese, but this was just the first thing that came to mind.**

I used to have a little water pot, and I'd use a washcloth to "wick up" the water when I needed more humidity. Just a water dish won't do it, as it will just sit there if there isn't a fan or someway to wick up water.

My humidity stays 85-95% in there, but that's with beer fermenting. Maybe that's the trick.

The bowl of water is what other people do.

Was able to get it up to 85%. Thanks

Look for "ultrasonic mist" or "ultrasonic humidifier" on eBay.

Maybe they would work. I have one like this I might give a try:

I'm sure it will. The one I linked to, and similar types, are not designed for continous. They would also contribute with a considerable amount of heat.

But it might work on a timer, 5min every half hour or something ? Or even better controlled with a sensor.

Not sure how much humidity you need, but a 50/50 water & propylene glycol solution will get you to 70% and keep you there.
