While on the topic of whole muscle, does the silver skin on wild game meat affect the absorption of cures and bacteria or should it be removed prior. Thanks..

Len Poli Sopressata recipe

Hello everyone. I'm doing the above and it calls for incubating at 85 degrees for 15 hrs. Is this necessary or just to shorten cure time. Being a novice, just starting, I want all the help I can get to do it right and not get sick. Thanks in advance. PS- the area I'm using for drying/ curing is arou...

Sausage Maker has some chrome- sausagemaker.com/Chrome-Drying-Racks-p/23-1028.htm
Also check out Home Depot or Lowe's. Don't know exactly what you're looking for. Best thing is Google it and see what comes up. Good luck.

FYI, from what I've read on TXBoars, some guys will never kill a adult male for the reasons mentioned but others say the best meat they have had from feral swine is from big, old boars. Wish I could speak from experience but they're not in NY yet.

Thanks for all the replies. Proceeding forward. I figured the 8/4/1 was for flavoring but never hurts to ask the experts.

Len Poli's dry cured coppa recipe

I'm going to try dry curing meat and am starting with the above. Following the instructions, I see at step 6, there is a 8/4/1 ratio of ingredients. Is this necessary to finish the product properly or just for flavoring. I've got my own list of flavorings for various sausages, etc., that I'm satisfi...

Thanks, NF. I'm searching food safe adhesives. Figure I'll get several same stuffing tubes, cut them and seal them together, forming one long piece that will handle a lot more casings. I only use the small tubes for beef/ venison sticks but the time saved making them would be worth the cost, as they...

That's it. I'd like just figure out away to get more casings onto the tube, not continually stopping and repeating the chore.

Stuffing problem

Hello everyone. The problem I'm having is, I've got a 5lb stuffer from Sausage Maker that I use to make my beef sticks. The tube is a standard length but it becomes a pain to continually run out of casing, waste time and start over again. Any ideas would help. I'm thinking of just let it run the len...
