18 pints of milk, seeded with some stilton and and some Pie d'Angloys.

It never got to a clean break so I had to carefully strain the whole lot through many layers of cheesecloth

How's the cheese doing Dave?

I made one of a similar size earlier this year. I had to freeze some of it in portions as it was a lot for the three of us to get through. Great flavour though and very creamy. I used gorgonzola to kick it off.

Hi Jen,
There's the beginnings of a brie like crust forming, I'll take another photo later.

Just before turning over, I may stab it to let the air in to the blue or leave it as it is, I'm prevaricating about the bush :D

It's ripening up nicely:

The flash has disguised the fact that traces of blue are beginning to appear, and it's beginning to smell gorgeous :lol:
It looks like I've cracked bread making just in time...

Curing is not an exact science... So it's not a sin to bin.

Great hams, from little acorns grow...
