Re: St. Patrick's Day addictions
You can use a OO high gluten flour ( Thanks for the tip Bob, we're going to try using regular bread flour with enough wheat gluten added to bring the protein content up to the 15.3% King Arthur claims for their first clear to see what happens. caraway seeds can also be ground fine, the same flavor ...

Re: THE GREAT SAUSAGE CONTEST!
Not really a serious sausage, but just a fun yarn to spin. My son and grandsons (13 and 10) wanted to get started in making their own sausages. Their equipment is limited to a Kitchenaid mixer with grinder attachment and a home made mini WSM smoker. At Christmas, my daughter and I gave them a "kit" ...

Re: Göttinger Stracke PH
The Chr Hansen Bactoferm™ Meat Manual Volume 1, page 24, Figure 5 gives T-SPX pH versus time data for 1/2 percent glucose. Your temperature is between the top two curves, so, depending on your starting pH, you may not be that far off. In any event, looks like 4.9-5.1 is going to be longer than 2.5 d...

Re: So let's talk about salt percentages....
In US Government documents, the word reserved generally means that a section title has been placed in the document, but that nothing has been put in the section (yet). It does not generally mean that information in the section is being covered up.

Re: Cold Smoke and Spoilage
I don't know whether the kasseler needs to be cold smoked or not. However, even here in central Florida night time temperatures for most of the year are below 26ºC (79ºF) for 8 or more hours. For example, last night it was below 21ºC from 11:00pm until 8:00am. I can keep heat addition to 5ºC in the ...

Re: Greasy Skin
don’t mix it when it is ultra cold Adequate mixing at cold temperatures was one of the things that took me a while to get my hands around so to speak. I mix by hand and I solved the cold hand problem using a pair of nitrile gloves over cheap cotton gloves of the type used to handle film negatives. ...

Re: first attempt at summer sausage
I'm not an expert, but my advice would be to do as the instructions on the kit recommend. The companies that manufacture these have generally spent significant resources developing kits that balance quality and safety. For what its worth, the Backwoods kits sold here in the States recommend cooking ...

Re: Lifespan of Apera PH60S pH meter?
I agree with what Butterbean posted about the storage solution. I also found that the little bottle of KCl storage solution that came with my Apera meter was pretty inadequate. Also, the crappy gasket on the tip cover leaks, so I store the kit vertically on a bookshelf so that the tip is pointed dow...

Re: Lifespan of Apera PH60S pH meter?
I've had my Apera PH60S for a little over 3 years. Maybe used it 60 times or so usually in clusters during fermentation. Just got done fermenting some salami last week, calibrated the meter using fresh pH buffer solutions and it was pretty much OK. So, I can't give any credence to the 2 year life sp...

Re: summer sausage
I do semi dry cured pepperoni similar to what you asked about, but its always either fermented to reduce the pH, or I use encapsulated citric acid (ECA) to reduce the pH. I cook to an internal temperature of about 145º if fermented, or 155º if using ECA. (The melting point of the coating on ECA is v...
