Recipe documentation
Notes per cheese style: milk source + season, target pH points, culture combinations, mold rind treatment. Numbers spreadsheet for recipe scaling. Year-over-year batches reveal milk shifts (spring grass vs winter hay).pH tracking + acidification
pH meter + Notes for acidification curves: 6.5 → 6.2 (renneting) → 5.4 (cutting curd) → 5.2 (drain) → 5.0 (salt) varies by style. Critical for consistency. Curve shape reveals culture activity.Cave aging environment
Wireless temperature + humidity sensors via SwitchBot or Govee broadcast to iPhone. Cave drift triggers alerts. Logs prove FDA-compliant aging. Year-of-aging temperature curves reveal cave personality.Culture + mold tracking
Notes per batch: starter culture combinations (Lactococcus, Streptococcus), adjunct cultures (Penicillium roqueforti, Geotrichum candidum, etc.). Bloomy rind, washed rind, blue veining all culture-driven. Strain choice = flavor development.FDA compliance + records
