I use that leftover bit for sausage rolls. I buy the frozen puff pastry and then roll it out, put the sausage across it in a long thin sausage roll, roll up the pastry, and cut it in bite size bits. Twenty min at 400F in the oven, yummy!

Surface mold starter question

Applied some surface culture to my Genoa today. This is my first time using a surface culture. I diluted it in a spray bottle and applied it. How long does it usually take to start seeing mold growth development.
Thanks

Thanks Red. Yes the plastic is my fermenting chamber. Until I get something more formal it's working. I have a pail of water on the inside and adjust the temp. in the shed itself.starting PH was 5.7. We'll see how it goes.
