Yes Bob, they are still in the chamber, which brings me to another question, do i take off the casings or wipe the mold and vac pack when they are ready?


Just read thru my notes Red, highest temp they got to was 73F

Very nice job Colin! Looks like you are an old hand at it, not a first timer. Len Poli's recipes are a great resource, but he usually recommends fast acidifying cultures, high sugar levels and fermnting at a high temp. What that does is give you a fast drop in pH and a low pH. That will give a sala...

That looks good Colin! Your new chamber must be working well as there is no sign of dry rim. Are you using the fridge side of the side by side? Along with weighing you can aso gently squeeze to tell how they are drying, you will get the feel for it after a few batches. Thanks Bob, Well i had the wi...

I cut my first ever Salami 28 days and 35% weight loss, needs more drying time as the texture for me is too soft Its a Salami Cacciatore from Len Poli's recipe 35% is only a guideline. Different cuts of meat have different amounts of water and are affected by fat, age of the animal and part of the ...

StefanS Thank you for your thoughts on my post, most of your questions i can not answer as i am very new at this. I can however tell you the inside of the Ham is very moist and tasty, the "burnt" look to the outside is where my AmaZeN pellet smoke generator was a little to close to the ham. As i sai...

That looks beautiful Fusion and I'm glad you liked it and thanks for giving feedback. Another thing I do with these is to not cook or smoke at all and simply slice then freeze till you need it then pan fry. Its good that way also. Also, sliced thin like you have it cooked makes great sandwich meat....
