I’m new to cheese making and I’m having problems getting my humidity past 70. The cheese is in a thermo-electric wine cooler with the temp set at 51.

I tried the wet paper towels to no avail, now I’m trying this air stone set up I devised today. Let’s hope it works.

Curious as how you deal with this

Thanks

Though the problem I’ve had is that my humidifier creates too much humidity. Even on the lowest setting, mine will create over 100% humidity within an hour and go through a full bottle of water within about 8 hours.

Not sure if my humidifier is not functioning correctly or if I need to find something else? It is the smallest humidifier I could find. It is also one that was recommended on another cheese making site.
