Lately I've run across several recipes for whole muscle meat curing where you cover the meat in salt for 12-24 hours then remove the meat and give it a gentle rinse in white wine then season and hang to dry.

Interesting way of curing to be honest. But for some reason I think it works on small pieces.

Sourdough Starter

Some time ago I came across a way to make a sourdough starter using BLC-007 or SPX or something. I've searched for the post with no luck. Maybe it was contained in a thread.
Would appreciate a link or info if anyone has done this.

Thanks. charlie

This will consolidate posts on chambers that were spread out over several forums and make it easier to research. :mrgreen:

I will be particularly interested in a site for lower cost casings. All that I have found so far seem to add about 30 to 50 cents a pound to the cost of sausage. When i can buy fresh pork at less than 1.50 USD /pound adding 20 to 30 percent for the cost of casing runs against my nature.
