Nice work looks professionally made! Did you use the Bactoferm 600 on the salami?

I'm thinking this could be a commercial operation, just with an old world setup in the market place. The labeling looks to be professionally done, and she was there early in the morning, she did not stick around long, meaning she was open early while the temp was lower and split mid morning. Or, may...

I know the first yellow sign says " wild schwein salami" which means wild pig salami. I guess should have tried one!

Sorry I don't remember the name of the salami. It did taste a lot like a soppreseta with the crushed red pepper.

Visited a farmers market in Bregenz Austria

My wife and I had stopped in Bregenz Austria for a visit this past May. There was a farmers market in the downtown square and an Italian woman selling salami's. I could not resist, I had to try the salami ( the red ring salami on the bottom right side of the screen) it was spicy like a soppreseta an...

KK Don`t stress over the perfect humidity, you will drive yourself nuts! The most common curing/drying temps, average around 70 -80% humidity. I have 2 converted fridges that I have been using for several years with a $25 nursery humidifier in each one, and Dayton humidistat purchased from Grainger ...

Found the wifes weakness....Bacon!

In past years, I have made bacon once or twice. Back in early October my wife and I attended a local beer & bacon festival, what a combo! We stopped by the Dakin Farm booth (they specialize in Vermont cob smoked hams & meats), the Dakin Farms rep, was frying several pounds of cob smoked bacon. My wi...

Nick First question, how did you come up with a total meat weight of 4734 grams? I reviewed the recipe and all the ingredients are for a batch of 1000 grams (1 kg) or 2.2lbs of meat. If we multiply by 5 that would give us 5000 grams at 5kgs or 11lbs total. The second question I have, how did you mix...

Hey all Redzed in response to your question, I have my humidifier setting at the bottom of the fridge/ curing cabinet. In regards to the water vapors being heavier than air, Ross is correct air is heavier than water vapors. Due to the small area inside the curing cabinet there is no problem with cre...

Nick My thoughts when using SPX culture, that the drying time will take a minimum of 6 weeks depending on size of the casing used and the environment that the salami`s are hanging in. Larger casing, longer dry time! As CW mentioned while using SPX culture, regulating the drying environment is key, a...
