First time trying cheese. 2 hours in my MES with Amaze smoke tube creating smoke with apple pellets. Seemed to "sweat" a bit but smells great.

How long should I wait to vac seal it? Do I need to do anything prior to that?
 
Your cheese looks great, it has a real nice color!

Put them on a drying rack in the fridge for 24 hours, then vac pack them.

After vacuum sealing them do you throw them in the freezer?

When you freeze cheese it will change the texture of the cheese. It should be fine vacuum sealed and in the fridge. Some people here have stored it for over a year.

Yup. I have tried freezing cheese. It crumbles afterwards. Tasted ok thou.

I have some cheese vac sealed for almost 2 years now

That's crazy would've never guessed. My wife has been asking me about smoking cheese, I'll have to try sometime.
