Hi Knifeman,

No new editions have been published. Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages dates back to 2012, and Fermented Sausages to 2009. Both are still very useful, and we can update you here with newer developments in starter cultures and other tips in making better dry cured sausages.

Hey Redzed, my "Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages" is dated 2010. Were there any significant changes or corrections made?

Just Google it Dan! Fermented sausage Originally published 2008, Home production 2009.

There are several editions but no mention of revised editions, so they are all the same.

Now get to work!! :mrgreen:

Chris is correct....books are great but actually making sausages, curing meats, etc will get you up to speed much faster!

Don't be worried about making mistakes along the way, is hats how everyone starts! Just make sure your cure % by meat weight and and your salt content are correct, and your sugars (all of them) are correct, and everything else will work itself out!

And many of the guys here can give you culture suggestions based on what kind of flavor profile you want in your finished product, whether it be tangy, mild, slow fermenting, fast fermenting, etc
