Not to mention that 1 package costs $15 plus shipping Eat your heart out with a very blunt knife: Knowing the production prices I think nobody ought to pay more than $6,50 for a T-SPX like culture -and even that price would leave a pretty headroom for the distributor. Or did you quote the price for...

Is it too late to catch up on this thread...? Because I need to make a statement I believe a lot of people are OVER adding cultures. I have see some ridiculous amounts quoted to be used both in print recipes and in online forums Some of the way I agree with you Joe: More is NOT better - but the agai...

Yeah, even I am a bit surprised that you can achieved such a weight loss in only ten days, also considering that the 70ish deg. F is too low to be able to boost fermentation, but I prefer to interpret this as a sigh of a successfull fermentation process. What amount of fermentable sugars does Ruhlma...

I so much like the color of your Salame di Cervo and my bet is that it will remain very stable until the last slice. If that will be the case I´d say that you can thank the sodium erythorbate (or iso ascorbate -which I think sounds more human :wink: ). Anyway, I would never leave it out of any recip...

Hi Cris! How is the development? You have been curiously silent for the last couple of weeks. So has I - but that´s because of a load of business visits to polish meat-processors and testing out some new SACCO starter cultures. What specially interests me is how color development has been as compare...

...about being (right- or wrongfully) labled as an expert ? :mrgreen: ...or about the use of GdL ? That´s a usfull remedy of the category "Too much of a good thing can become a pretty awfull thing" because while GdL may help you to achieve a fast pH drop down to 5.0, too much of it will eventually a...

Thank´s for the laurels Rudy :grin: I´m waiting eagerly to hear more about the Landjäger progressions - and about results with the B-LC 007. It seems that you are on pioneering ground with this culture. Didn´t see it mentioned by any others in this forum yet though it has been around since 2011 or s...

That would be the first Kolbász with Tokaji which I´d ever tried -and I have been to Hungary quite a few (and can never be enough) times. For me it sounds like a bit of a gimmick, though given the sweetness of a Öt puttonyos Aszu Tokaji you can forget about adding any kind of sugars (...sugar comes ...

It was all on the tip on my tongue but then came Red :wink: And I´am totally on par with the suggestion; Just mix the culture with the spices. Why add to the water activity when in fact you want water out of the sausage as (reasonably) quickly as possible? I have used water dilution some times but d...

Saludarte! Basically I would regard the F-LC as a traditional culture on the fast side. That means; if you ferment at high temperatures it will ferment relatively fast and provide a quick pH drop (at least one contributor here has experieced this with F-LC) whereas if you keep fermentation temperatu...

Looks very Polish indeed :razz: Is the Rzezowska supposed to be enjoyed here and now -or is it to hang for some days (or even longer) to become dry and solid ? Also: do you want to reveal the dosage of cardamon in this recipe or is a well kept family-secret? :mrgreen: I´m a bit curious because I rea...

I now cube and season the meat, grind it only once, then mix for primary bind and, finally, stuff the casings which is also very close to a common practice seen in many German recipes for sausages that are only grinded (and not cut at high speed in order to emulsify): First grind the semi frozen cu...
