Well started my second batch; washed the off a couple of times with a vinegar solution and on day 8 have a nice mold showing.

Does anyone has issues with the temperature controller from the sausagemaker?

Seems like every so often it cuts out on me and have to reset it again, I think I am following all the proper settings; 1st I reset the unit and set the temperature to 55F and set the time. The fridge is kicking in when it reaches 57F.

Great progress John! You have inspired me to start cranking out some fermented sausages and restart my curing chamber. I'm currently cosidering making a Soppressata made with wild goose and duck and a Cacciatore made with goose and pork.

SausageJohn, you ol' shark! That stuff looks fabulous! I'd better come up there just to make sure you're holding the knife at the correct angle while slicing! :roll: We might have to go through the process quite a bit. I still don't believe you are a beginner. Great lookin' stuff pal!

Best Wishes,

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

Thanks guys,
I am new to cured sausage making, but made sausages for a while.

I used deer and pork meat in the cacciatore, had such great feedback from my first had to do another batch. Did vacuum bagged some and placed in freezer, defrosted one the other day and it tasted great, try to get a ahead of myself and get some summer inventory going.
Will do the large deer salami (sausagemaker kit) and some coppa and deer bresaola next.

Anyone ever made Salsiz, it is a traditional sausage from the eastern part of switzerland and is pressed like a landjaeger?

Cheers, John
