Re: Humidity Issue with my curing chamber

Hey Stefan
I read this article about smearing : http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?p=2403
some things applied to my sausages but others didn't. for example, I didn't have case hardening, neither had any bad smell or spoilage in the center of the meat.. but maybe it was smearing.. what I know ...

Humidity Issue with my curing chamber

An update ! The sausage is dried well but it kept oozing out oil even I reduced the temp. range to be 50~52. I tried today one of the sausages and it had a very funky flavor. The meat is in tact and there is no spoilage, but the taste is incredibly unpleasant.. I noticed that the bacteria that was s...

Taylor good thank you very much for the half full information! The recipe I used cold for 12 hours of fermentation on 90 degrees. I wish I have left them at least 24 hours or so.. Next time I'll make sure to use T SPX culture and ferment on a lower temperature for 3 days. I would really be proud of ...

Forgot to mention that the pH now is 4.41 .. i think it dropped way than it should because of the wine.
I hope I don't end up with a super sour Soppressata.

@LOUSANTELLO This is total sense ( How new 20 lb of meat will release lots of humidity at first ). I think because I used heating element the first 2 days, it resulted in dropping the humidity after 2 days to 77 ( as I was frustrated with the high humidity). The recipe didn't mention any details abo...

Actually it is F-Rm 52 which calls for high humidity and fast fermentation. An update ! : The humidity now is maximum reaching 77 and it is dropping to 68 after the refridge finishes its cooling cycle !! I didnt do anything different! I think you were right about the sausage being newly introduced i...

It is this Receipe The recipe ...

Hi Bob Thank you very much for the quick reply. I have panicked enough to buy 2 dehumidifier and subscribe into Amazon Prime to get them in two days .. I was super duper worried. Would the 82-85 RH contributes to slimy sausages ? This is my frustration ! Roger https://i.imgur.com/mWkwi8a.jpg https:/...
