Do you mean it must take an Australian three pin plug?

Hi Aaron,
Go to Ebay and look what they have for sale.
Just search for Digital Electronic Humidity Controller. They are basically all made in China.
Wiring instructions are included and they work great.
You will have to wire them through a 3 pin plug though.
Steve Plas in Perth has his wine fridge controlled by the above and a same style/size temperature controller.
I can vouch for his Charcuterie, it's 110%.
Cheers

Thanks Crusty for the feedback (yes, Janlab ..That's what I meant)....
I had already looked on Ebay but was unsure about the wiring and it's ability to function on our voltage so thanks for the confidence...I'll take another look...
I'll contact Steve and see what other products he can recommend
Cheers!

Aaron, it's tazplaz. Look up his curing chamber in History. He makes some wonderful tasting charcuterie.
Cheers,

Hi Aaron. Crusty probably meant for you to use the search function on this forum. Unfortunately it is not something that is always reliable. I think this is the thread he wanted you to look at:

Hi Croc, another option might be frozen pork blood. Check out stores that supply the Chinese community in your area to see whether they might have it.

Hi Croc,
The pork blood was imported from Tong Master seasonings in the UK. Look at EBay Australia.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dried-Blood- ... 337e97aa08

Matter of fact, I have found a small local Abattoir here that could save me some blood if I push hard enough.
In Gippsland there must be still some privately owned Abattoirs if you look around.
Butchers won't tell you but wholesalers will.
Good Luck,
Jan.

Hi Croc,
I have no experience with making sausages from either deer or wild pigs.
May I suggest you talk to the local Vet first for his opinion or a meat inspector if you have an abattoir near you.
To kill certain bugs you need to freeze it for quite an extended period at a certain temperature.
A friend of mine always dogged piglets, took them home, lots of thibenzole and after 6 months made all sorts of charcuterie. Luckily he knew what to do, he was a Frog butcher by trade.
I ate plenty of it and I am an old fart now.
Cheers mate,
Jan.

Hi Croc.
There are only 2 abbatoirs East of Melbourne that kill pigs. Gathercoles at Carrum Downs and Gordyns at Sale. I have used Gordyns before but kill my pigs at home now. I doubt whether you will be able to import pigs blood due to quaratine laws. You are welcome to take blood next time i kill skme of mine but next lot may not be till June.

Cheers

Hi Croc,

You can get pig's blood from a butcher at the Dandenong market.
