I'm on my 4th batch of smoked cheese, each time is a fun learning process. I have a heavy mod ECM and use the ANMPS smoke generator with pellets for smoking.
My question is after smoking, how long should the cheese set out before sealing? The cheese sweat or moisture remains after sitting for 2 hours on a wire rack (full air circulation) but some moisture remains.
Should I put the cheese on a rack, in the frig, until the moisture is gone? or seal after a certain amount of time?
I've never wiped the moisture off but have sealed the cheese after several hours and it's slightly wet.
Thanks.
BTW - gonna cold smoke some eggs (first time) and more cheese today.
