Cheese maturation times

[_Gunnar]

I'm trying to optimize our cheese production a bit, and I was wondering if anyone knew the approximate lengths of time it takes for cheeses to ripen?

eg. curds -> cellar cheddar, x hrs

I'm most interested in the bbc->jorb and jorb->mbc stages: they seem very long :p

Thanks for your help!

What is known is on the wiki. Curds are about 40 minutes each to produce as long as your curding tub is filled with rennet and milk. http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Cheese

If you're not comfortable editing a wiki, you can post anything you find here and I or someone else will add it (please ask for it to be added if this is the case) or you can add it to the discussion page on the wiki (you don't need to worry about making things look nice there).

alright , I don't really know about editing a wiki, but I will post my findings here.

I just put 42 trays of jorb in the cellar at 4pm GMT today. I'll let you know when they are done

Next time I start other stages I'll record the time and try and post here as well. Seems like the jorb->mbc stage takes a very long time however.

Yeah, some of the cheeses take in excess of 120 hrs to make. I never bothered with times as I just moved trays as I spotted them. For those that are trying to maximize production (by having two or three plus) or bot it, having accurate times decreases the time to produce.

FYI, everything I know about editing a wiki I've learned while trying to update or fix RoB.

seems like jorb->mbc takes around 8 days

If possible next batch you do, the day after you put the cheese in (at around the same time, a 30 minute or so difference shouldn't matter), check the percent complete on the cheese. If it's at 12%, you're correct.

(Just for a little bit of confirmation before putting up numbers on the wiki)

Thanks Gunnar
