porterdriver, Welcome ,I also use a green air THC-1 it is connected to a ultrasonic cold air humidifier set at max. I just let the Greeen Air monitor and maintain the humidity level. I have found out that the cold air ultrasonic seems to break up {vaporize}the water a bit better.Humidity levels that...

A friend of mine has just shown me how to upload pictures from photo bucket. This is a test. [/img]

That Schinkenspeck looks beautiful. I also tried to get a translation of this recipe to no avail.
Would it be possible to get a detailed recipe looks like a good cold weather project.

Ross sometimes my hands don't type as fast as I would like (guess I getting old) so I have my wife help with the typing. Last night she typed a post for me and when she tried to submit it the post was deleted. Seems the log in somehow was gone.Out of frustration she typed the letters fg and instead ...

In Hyde Park, we chat about everything. Here in "Sausage Chat" we also talk about everything... providing it pertains to sausage . :lol: This is the place to ramble on and pose more simple questions or answers about sausage. Whether it is meat selection, grinding, mixing, casing, or any other sausa...

Well after 22 days I have just weighed my Salami di Alessanddra the weight loss is over 30%. 1692g -1178g 1714g -1162g 1686g - 1154g . My curing unit is at 57 deg., humidity 80% and fan speed is adjusted to slow. I have just taken project "S" and "P" from the fermenter and added them to the curing u...

Hi Chuckagon
Is it better to apply the mold 600 at the beginning of fermentation or after the 72 hour fermentation period? I have seen it stated both ways.
When we wake up starter cultures is there a proper amount of water to use as most of the recipes seem to be for 10 lbs. ?

Fellow sausage makers, Well I have just finished making projects "S" & "P" and have placed them in my fermenter unit. Needless to say my tests and the actual results differ. I am using a converted freezer which I originally had intended to use for high temperature fermentation as it does not have co...

Chuckwagon Once again thank you for help in answering my questions.My hygrometer was 20% off. I called them and they sent out a replacement a.s.a.p. I ordered some more parts for my second fermenter and since this unit was originally was only intended for higher temperature fermentation (no cooling)...

fellow sausage makers, So far everything seems to be going well . I have resprayed with 600 mold culture and while the mold cover seems to be thin it is even. I am using a green air humidity controller. I have also purchased a hygrometer from the sausage maker . Problem being green air unit reads 80...

atNick Thanks for the tip. I seem to have the same problem. I've been using Polder & Taylor. I always use three. surprising to see the difference in the readings even though they start out with the same readings. Joined Chuckwagon and Guys in making project A ,went purchased a hygrometer like the on...
