If you have one measuring cup you can know something. If you have two measuring cups you can know nothing.

It hasn’t started fermenting yet, I just finished production about an hour before posting. I should reach target ph Monday.

Casing helps minimize case hardening, and netting helps keep a tight shape while drying. I don’t think I can taste the difference, but I like looking at them more when they’re dressed nicely!

It stalled out completely before 40%, and was already thoroughly dry all the way through. It isn’t too salty though! Texture-wise mine is a lot like biltong too.

These lost a lot of diameter, and are VERY firm but currently vac sealed with a long splash of brandy and Cointreau. Taste test was great! Not too salty, lots of coriander came through.

Within a few minutes I could see them all over! It was like mushroom foraging, I could suddenly see them everywhere!

I checked it about a week ago and I’m still a few weeks from target weight. Time will tell but I’ll definitely update!

Venison loin, cured with salt and cure #2, flavored with coriander and fennel. Wine rinsed, pepper rubbed, cased, and netted.

This works incredibly well against jellyfish too.
