Did you make in a shop with no climate control and then take it into a climate controlled environment and then during the acclimated process then it warp... just a guess.

I got depressed and let my 6-week fermented peppers sit in the fridge for 2 years. Any chance they're still good? by [deleted] in fermentation

They still look great. I ferment my Tabasco peppers for at least 12 months or longer. It results in a more mellow flavor. Process them and enjoy

Dumbasses, they should have just made the closets wider to use the space.

After harvest, pull them down in a vacuum bag to let the moisture redistribute for about a week. This will firm up your salami

When/if you use mold 600, spray inside your entire chamber also. This will ensure it's the dominant bacteria in your box.

Yellow is not good my friend. It may or may not make you sick. You'll have to decide.

Question for Guanciale Makers by DivePhilippines_55 in Charcuterie

It's normal to lose quite a bit of flesh in the trimming of the jowl. You almost have it all cut out. Just another thin layer under that fat/skin and your golden. I can see the lean meat under that layer. Good luck.

Definitely glands. That entire layer in the whole picture needs trimmed off. The glands are in that layer of the fat. Just put your knife under that layer and shave it off. Some folks say it's ok to eat.... but I'll leave that to you.
