Händlmaier is hands-down the best Weißwurstsenf.

Re: Münchner Weisswurst

Most recipes I have seen call for a small amount of lemon zest. That provides the flavour without adding too much acidity or bitterness.

Re: Kabanosy z Dziczyzny - Venison Kabanosy

Looking at that, I'm sure this would would work very well with Kangaroo instead of the venison. On my "must try" list now :)

Re: Roo sausage

Looking good! Kangaroo meat is super lean, and it turns into shoe leather before you can say "Kangaroo" :-) When cooked as a steak, the best way to eat it is very rare, bordering on blue. For sausages, 30% pork back fat or so will do wonders. As you say, the flavour is quite mild, not anywhere near ...

Re: cleaning equipment

No real need to disinfect as such. Just clean really thoroughly with hot soapy water. If you are really worried, you could use an iodine-based disinfectant, such as the one used in cheese making. But I don't think it's needed. Just work cleanly, and you'll be fine. Be wary of vinegar, lemon juice, o...

Re: Question about odd casings

I strongly suspect that eating those casings won't do any harm. It's just that it might not look all that great…

Re: Too low pH after stuffing before fermentation

It'll definitely be safe. Check the flavour once you have reached your target weight. If you find it too sour, either reduce fermentation time/temperature next time, or reduce the amount of starter culture.

Chances are that it'll come out delicious, regardless :)

Re: Inbkbird settings and actuals - are these OK?

You are controlling humidity to better than ±5%. That's probably about as good as is reasonably possible.

Re: Inbkbird settings and actuals - are these OK?

I don't have first-hand experience with a such a set-up. But keeping humidity within a 10% band seems OK to me.

Re: Curing chamber - to vent or not to vent?

I don't see the need for venting if you have both a humidifier and a dehumidifier. All it would do is make their job harder. I would just try it out without a vent for a few months and see how you go. If you find that you run into problems, you can still cut a vent later. And opening the door for a ...
