How to Setup an External Cheese Fridge Thermostat

By 9 Comments

I have had so many requests about this simple external thermostat that I decided to make a how-to video to show everyone how it works.External Cheese Fridge Thermostat

In fact, I like this product so much that I imported some from China to sell here in Australia.  You can find the External Cheese Fridge Thermostat with full instructions in our shop.  I have personally been using one on my cheese fridge for just over a year without any issues.  When I say cheese fridge, it is a 200 litre bar fridge that now works perfectly as a cheese fridge, sitting constantly at 13°C.

I hope that helps anyone who is looking for a cheese fridge solution here in Australia.

Until next time curd nerds….

Welcome back to Season 2 of the Little Green Cheese Podcast.

I hope you had a great holiday break and are ready for another season of podcast episodes about cheese making at home.

During this episode I talk about what I was doing over the summer break, which included making zero cheese due to the heat here Down Under, but I did manage to build an ecommerce store that now sells cheese making kits, supplies, and equipment for Australian customers.  You can find it at www.littlegreenworkshops.com.au/shop/

Also during the show I answer four voice mails and thirteen email questions!

If you want to leave a voicemail question (which I strongly encourage), use the widget below to record your message via your computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone.

I also promised to make some new cheese making videos, which will include sour cream, quark, and a Leicester style cheddar.

Now for some photos.  They’re courtesy of Jeff & Marlene.  It is of their troublesome haloumi.

Hopefully they have had some success with this recipe now.

Also, plastic drying mats.  Personally, I just use bamboo sushi mats which I have boiled for 15 minutes, let dry, and change daily to prevent mould build up during air drying.  However I have managed to locate some for Colin from New Zealand who mentioned that he was having trouble locating them.  You can find the mats here.

Well curd nerds, I hope you have enjoyed the start of season 2.  Let me know what you thought via a rating and review over on iTunes, or via a comment on the blog.  I would love to hear from you, and keep those questions rolling in.  Remember that without them, there is no show.

Until next time, Keep Calm and Make Cheese.

LGC 031 – What Non Curd Nerds Think About Little Green Cheese

This weeks feature is a review of the podcast that appeared in episode 90 of the Reaction Podcast by a couple of non curd nerds!  Just be forewarned that there is swearing during that 5 minute segment, but if you can handle it, then it is well worth a listen just for the laughs.

The news clip is from ABC Rural News and is about Lyndall Dykes who is the owner of The Cheesemaking Workshop.  She teaches mainly around the north coast of NSW.

Listener questions this week are about the target temperature of the milk during cheese making, how to set the external thermostat from heat to cold mode, whether a normal small bar fridge will suffice as a cheese cave, and a couple of replies to YouTube comments.

Links mentioned in the show;

Also, don’t forget that if you like this podcast, and would like to help promote it as a personal favour to me, please head over to iTunes and give it a rating and a honest review.  Once you have clicked on the link, then click the “view on iTunes” button and leave a review.

This helps raise the podcast in the iTunes charts, which ranks against the likes of world famous food podcasters like Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, and Martha Stewart to name a few.  Any help would be fantastic if you have the time.

If you wish to receive the show on your portable apple device each time I release an episode, you can subscribe via iTunes using the button below. You can also subscribe via Stitcher Radio.

So, until next time curd nerds, remember to Keep Calm and Make Cheese!
