My Husband Converted This Old Freezer Into a Temperature-Controlled Cheese Cave!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Each week, I flip the cheeses that are aging and take inventory. After the cheese and wine party we hosted, my cheese supply diminished dramatically, so this week I also organized the cave.

Awesome! Thanks.
Why do you need an external thermostat if your fridge already has one?

To keep the freezer at 50 degrees. Without an external thermostat, the freezer's internal thermostat will not let it get that warm.
does the wine fridge have the right humidity?

I have no idea --- haven't measured it. But there's a good bit of condensation in there, so maybe? It doesn't really matter, though, since all the cheeses are vac-packed. (The reason I haven't natural rind aged them in the fridge is that some of the metal racks drip rusty water and I don't want to get that on the cheeses.)

I’m seriously impressed with the amount and variety of cheese! I can’t imagine the number of hours it’s taken. Clearly you’re no cheese week-end warrior! What’s the difference between a traditional cheddar and a farmhouse cheddar?

@@PeterBallW I'm not exactly sure! My take: Traditional cheddar has a longer cheddaring process and farmhouse cheddar is a little more relaxed (stirring the curd instead of slicing and stacking). But other sources say it has to do with the milk (pasteurized versus raw) and the packaging (vacuum-sealed versus cloth-bound). My conclusion? There are many variations of cheddar and the names are just a way to differentiate.
