Thanks for all the helpful comments. Since I intend to do 15# - 20# batches in the future, I think it should work just fine for me. Sounds like the biggest challenge will be figuring out how to clean it without flooding my kitchen. :shock: In case anyone is wondering, I bought this one on sale: http...

Those look awesome Sleebus. It feels good shedding the chains of a recipe and going with your gut and hitting a home run doesn't it? I find most times your gut will be right as long as you keep the basic principles in mind. BTW - I like your shot glass idea and trust you emptied them properly befor...

German sausage with a Polish spin

Well, if you don't start somewhere, you'll never get started. So, I ordered the inkbird temp and humidity controllers, got a tiny dehumidifier and fabricobbled up an ultrasonic mist humidifier. I think total cost is around $90 because I had the other stuff lying about. However, like I was told here,...
