Re: Naem moo - Thai Fermented Sausage

Scogar, check the pork picnics at the grocer. Often they have skin-on picnics or butts. You don't need much skin to make this so a picnic would be more than enough. It does have some heat but not bad since you only place about two chilis per sausage. I think this whole process is interesting and the...

Re: Butchered Pig

Using some of the skin you have I'd suggest you try making Naem moo. I suspect you'd have trouble finding green banana leaves but you might try substituting corn shucks or corn leaves. This is a really good fermented sausage and not to say interesting in process, texture and flavor. https://wedlinyd...

Re: Cure Time

Non-ground and in chunks is my preferred method but life gets in the way sometimes and I sometimes stray from the path I know best. In a perfect world, I would use the process you are doing every time because in my view it simply makes for a superior product in many ways. Here are some I spent two d...

Re: Snack Stick recipe.

Personally I wouldn't bother using carrot binder. If you find you need a binder for a snack stick it means your process needs improving. Add your salts to the cut up meat and stick it in the fridge for 2-4 days. When you remove it, it should feel like it has a slimy glue on it. Coarse grind the meat...

Re: Cure Time

You are good. I believe the longer is better as this will give the cure more time to work and your sausages should have a much better color in my opinion if you aren't using a cure accelerator. Only problem I've seen in doing it this way is when you salt/cure the meat and grind then let the mince cu...

Re: Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

If you are talking the 70/30 trim it won't matter but if its the 50/50 you need to back up and not add over 30% to the mix. The 70/30 makes a good sausage mixed with venison on a 1:1 mix.

Re: Chorizo Tasting - B/B+

Those look wonderful. I'd be more than willing to sample those. I don't know how or why Mr. Google would not be able to convince them, but there you have it. Everyone's alive and no worse for the wear, but still. I think I know those people of whom you speak and wonder if they even know that Google ...

Re: Starter cultures

Can't say I've ever noticed a difference but have never looked to be honest. I've always treated it like I do yeast in wine or beer making. Don't know if this is the correct way but it seems logical and have always gotten quick and good fermentations on all.

Re: Hungarian paprika Landjaeger type fermented sausage recipe needed

I recently made some Kielbasa Mysliwska using Marianski's recipe and since I was letting the meats cure for several days before processing got the whim of adding some dextrose and FRM52 to the mix and let them ferment for 1.5 days till the pH dropped then went on with the process only keeping them i...

Re: First Coppa

Looking good. They do throw off some strange aromas at times. I love to smell their progression. I like it the most when it smells like cheese but once got a floral bouquet I thought interesting. I think you made a good choice dusting the outside with paprika as this should make it look really nice....

Christmas Smoke

Seeing Stefan's sausages inspired me ...... maybe to much so as I have a fair amount of game meat in the freezer and I recently made some modifications to the smokehouse and have been wanting to see how she runs. So with these things prodding me I may have gotten a bit overzealous and bit off more t...
