some are pending on the process that was used, brine washed cheese can be sticky but I dont have enough experience with those types. I thingk as long as their is no grey/black fur then its ok, it may turn into a orange goo.

Probably u might get a Gorgonzola type cheese, maybe Camembert dominant style runnyness.

for this reson it is soft when you touch it by finger from out side (not hard)....

so this wheel will not age for long time, if the white mold is working…. but i just remembered somthing, that the smell is not Brie/Camembert, it is normal ...

First impression is that it was aged too fast or was at a too warm a temp for a brief time. Thats what happened to my first batches ( see pics )

Just remembered that what also can make a cheese runny is if it suffocates. I had some of my cheese in a sealed container (fell closed) while aging and it liquefied. ended up using some of it for a dip.
