Re: Kielbasa Lisiecka\Kielbasa Czosnkowa - Garlic Sausage

Thanks Michi Sad to see how this forum has died and not very many posts anymore. Maybe time for new management. I don't think new management would make any difference. You can't make people magically appear in a sausage making forum. The most you could do is advertise the existence of this place el...

Re: Špekáček

If you copy and paste the name into Youtube there seems to be some videos on the process but none that I saw were in English. Might give you a better idea of how its made though.

Lonzino & Breasola

Breasola is done. Came out with 39.98 weight lose. A little case hardening but not to bad. They are vac packed and in the fridge for two to three weeks to equalize. Should settle out nicely. Taste is creamy. just waiting on the Lonzino. Its taking its time. Its only at 27.4% weight lose.

Re: Salame Calabrese with Cannabis

I'm Ukrainian, my grand Parents came to Canada after the first world war. My Grandmother always had a large mason jar full of Cannabis for spices. It was used almost like basil. Never tried to smoke it but I am pretty sure it was not a strong strain back then. Must be why Ukraine is kicking Russian ...

Re: Sourcing starter cultures in Canada

I have not made any Salami but I do have Lonzino and Breasola in the chamber. Mixed up the Lallemand Meat Surface PS521and applied like Mold 600. It took 6 days before the mold started showing on the Lonzino and very little showing on the Breasola. I'm sure it will get going but seems slower then Mo...

Re: Case hardening in a dry ager - air flow control

Not knowing the dryager I had to look it up. They are pretty darn expensive units. It also seemed to me they are sold mostly for aging meat rather then dry curing meats. At least that was impression from visiting the web page. I agree it could be to much air flow causing large swings in the humidity...

Re: Case hardening in a dry ager - air flow control

Well I am not a professional at all but what kind of dry age fridge is it? Did you buy one that is made for dry aging or did you convert a regular fridge over to make a dry ager fridge? Knowing this information would help others help you with your problem. What humidity are you running in it? Does i...

Re: Time to get things going again

Well it was good that I ran a few test runs on the old chamber. My trusty humidifier died today. They say with dry curing you can expect a 50\50 chance of success and fails and that would have been a fail for sure. Got a new on order and a just received my Govee WiFi Digital Thermometer Hygrometer, ...

Time to get things going again

Well its been over 4 years since I made any Dry Cured products. Many other interests just took over but since I still have all my equipment it was time to clean up and fine tune the curing chamber. Had to reread the instructions on my auber pid controllers LOL Did a couple of test runs at keeping te...

Spotty mold will not hurt the end product. I have had it happen a few times.

It should start to fill in sooner or later.
