Re: Beginner results in pictures
Great looking stuff. What did you use for a curing chamber? Did you build one? I build one from a slightly used newer type fridge (frost-free) with temp and humidity controllers and a humidifier and de-humidifier inside. Keeping 12.5C and ~77% humidity. No fans inside, seems to work fine without fa...

Proud that none of them failed, I did equalize them in vac for a week after these pictures, and the darker ring on the outside was gone. Family and friends have been eating ...

Re: Beginner question - so many choices
So I just did my first ferment sausage according to the 2guys recipe for saucisson sec. I wanted to try a mix of T-SPX and SafePro® EasyCure LC , similar to B-LC-007 but without the Pediococcus acidilactici which is considered as "fast fermentation" and with the addition of Staphylococcus vitulinus ...

Re: Beginner question - so many choices
Thanks, i'll guess i'll just have to start and learn. This forum is amazing with so much useful info. I will be visiting the butcher next week and revert with some progress report once I start making. Will make two coppas, once without culture and one with SafePro® EasyCure LC so to compare for the ...
