Re: Fast fermentation with T-SPX
Marianski in his book uses .6grams or 1/4teaspoon for 5kg of meat Just FYI - that is based on what the culture is capable of under ideal conditions. Since we deal with a culture pac that has been shipped and to us and stored in less than ideal condition (not factory fresh) it is much to your advant...

Re: Fast fermentation with T-SPX
Why do you say its too much? Its exactly what is called for.
30 hours is not overly fast with the sugar and temps used. You can try dropping the temp and reducing the sugar a bit in the next batch to slow the ph drop.

Re: Bio Cultures by Chr. Hansen
SafePro is a line of cultures by Ch Hansen designed to combat Listeria in Ready To Eat products. There should also be a name on the envelope ( like FL-C) which would tell us what the culture is used for.

Re: Too high temperature during fermentation
As Indaswamp stated above it was "safe microbiologically speaking". If it had not fermented to a Ph of 5.3 or below the possibility of spoilage is increased. I would eat it with a clear conscience, so enjoy!

Re: Chamber questions
Hygrometers just don't react quickly enough to keep a tight range of humidity. You have to think of the chamber being like a home oven, The temperature you set is an average temp, the actual oven will vary + - 15 - 20 degrees.

Re: Orange and Fennel Salami
That would eliminate the alcohol problem, as far as the flavor I have no idea. The only way to find out is to try it.

Re: Orange and Fennel Salami
With 40% alcohol (80 proof) you may have trouble denaturing the mince. Alcohol can reduce the bind by breaking down proteins.

Re: Pre curing meat
Lee-
You would be better off just freezing the cubed meat without the salt/cure /spices. Freezing salted cured meat can change the texture and it also decreases the amount of time they should be frozen.
