I have a couple of soppressata's that the casing popped an opening maybe due to the weight or overtying. A couple of locations it was clear it was due to tightening the string. What should I do? Do I leave them alone? Will they rot?

Hello Bob, Yes I realize that. The settings are quite weird due to having to make calculations based on the HYD and HYH sub-settings. I wish there was a way that displays the H-1 based on what you really want,,,,then the HYH and HYD settings will compensate for the range. This was the reason I creat...

Redzed. I saw your link. Those are the identical dual temp and dual humidity controllers I have. I only have the heat plugged in during fermentation and I have not needed it during curing. I read the other link regarding the sensor reading high. Mine too. But, instead of relying on the numbers on th...

Has anybody used one of these wired into an outboard dehumification controller? Let me know.

The sausage is made with fennel and red pepper. He uses the same amount of salt as curing, in his situation was close to...

I tied most of them up last night (12 hours ago). In the process of tying one, I snapped the casing. I managed to re-tie a midnight snack out of one and I had extra meat from inside that casing. I figured " what better way to test the PH that was in the casings. 4.96 I think we are good. The first t...

Don't copy and paste in the reply box. That would just show a link. On the right side of the reply box is an "IMG" button. Click that and another popup box will come up. Copy and paste the link into that box instead.

I like my c-clamp idea. LOL. My nephew asked me what country I was from. I had a refrigerator that worked perfect until I hit the condenser coil last week too. I called and ordered the same model and carefully drilled from the inside out and gradually took the foam out and found the coil again. Then...
