Right now they are all averaging around 25% so still got a ways to go yet.

Cool thanks! The hardest part about this type of creation is the wait!

Yes the wait is always the hard part. I figure they are loosing about 2-3 percent a day so about another 7 days they should be ready. They are just getting firmer now but you can tell the middles are still soft. I was weighing them every day but since have settled to ever third day

Nice Devo!
You make the best looking UMAI fermented sausages that I have seen
Most folks get a lot more dry rim for some reason. Do you use a frost free fridge or regular type?
And how do you compare using F-RM -52 to T-SPX , any difference?
What type of Chili powder did you use?

Well thanks Bob.
I used my upstairs fridge this time and its frost free, the bar fridge downstairs is not and I have used that one also and did not notice any dry rim from when I used it.
The biggest difference to me over T-SPX was the ferment time but most of my taste buds are dead so what do I know
The chilli powder was bought in a bulk spice store here in town so it could be just about anything. The smoked cayenne pepper is home grown and smoked.
bactoferm F-RM-52 or Mondostart

I am interested in trying my hand at making the Pepperoni using the UMAI Bags, but I can't get Bactoferm here in Victoria. Does any one know if Mondostart can be substituted?

Yes of course it can. I don't have my PDF file on this computer but just pick a fast acting one.
Here in Canada we get mostly Mondostart.

Looking at my PDF files on the Mondostart you probably would want MondoStart-06 as its fast acting.

Very nice Devo, well done. The pepperoni looks like it dried very evenly. Did you add a water pan with salt to the fridge or just go as is ?
I would like to try the larger diameter casings on my next batch. Did you use the 50mm casings or make them out of the bags ?

Ok, I read this thread after I answered the other one. I thought Bert was looking to make the pepperoni according to the recipe on the Umai site with T-SPX, so I recommended Mondostart Classic.
Bert, please don't double post.

Devo, those look great. I really enjoy me some pepporoni, so I have a feeling I'll be making this recipe with my next UMAI go round. Great job!

No water pan, just ferment for 12 hours and the rest of the time in a frost free fridge.
mondostart classic

Hi Redzed: My apologies for the double post. I see stuffers carries the Mondostart 2M but not the Mondostart Classic you mentioned, or are they the same thing?
