If it is soft cheese, it will probably spoil before it ripens in the 
usual sense.  All you can do is taste it and call it done when you like 
the taste.

If you want a traditional blue cheese, you need a much drier curd and 
usually some light pressing.

Check out my Stilton recipe to get an idea of what is involved.  If you 
use goat cheese you might want to add extra cream to the milk.
