It should be fine Justin. I have had areas on beef (middle) casings that never grow mold for some reason. Look at the pics of the Coppa on page 2 of this thread. Seems similar to what you describe. http://www.wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=6375&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 Yea it looks si...

Slime/ Grease on Coppa

I've been dry curing my first attempt at Coppa. I used the Marianski dry cure recipe. It was cured 18 days and stuffed into a beef bung. It's been drying about 45 days right now. It smells great and some white mold has appeared however 1 side keeps getting a layer of grease/slime. I've wiped it off ...

Justin- The .12 grams per kilo that is listed in the Marianski recipes is based on what a whole envelope of culture is capable of fermenting. In ideal conditions. For a small batch like 1 kilo you would be better off using a minimum of a few grams. There is a pretty good chance that your pepperoni ...

Is this from over fermenting? So how did I do! Also, I did not use a surface mold, I am currently drying saucisson, they have been drying about 2 weeks, can I use surface mold now? I doubt it was over fermented, if it did it would have more of a sour taste. More likely under fermented or to high of...

My first attempt at pepperoni

This was my first attempt at pepperoni and my first dried, fermented sausage. Admittedly, it was a bit of an uneven effort. I hadn't regulated my temp and humidity perfectly so there were some fluctuations. I didn't have ph strips either. I used the Mariansky recipie found on the website and books. ...

As you can see I have 6 saucisson hanging that I just started and the soppresata is in the right and my first attempt at pepperoni which I think is a failure :(

Hi Justin, hard to say at this point, it's not even three weeks hanging time. At this stage you could lower the temp to 50, with 55 being the max, and try to keep the humidity at around 80%. Also make sure you don't have any fans blowing directly at the salami. Some case hardening is usually inevit...

Case Hardening Fix?

Complete newbie here. My first attempt at dryer sausage was soppressata. I used a recipie that used T-SPX, I fermented at 68 degrees for 72 hours, high humidity (I sprayed the sausages to be safe). I moved them to my drying chamber, white chalky mold appeared and I had the humidity between 65-85 and...
