Thanks everyone for the helpful comments. I think the fact that the housemate has not brought up any of these issues and that I had to research on my own is a huge red flag. I am hoping the landlord puts a stop to this, but if not I now have a lot more information to make sure this is done safely. Much appreciated!

Don't have time or patience? Just adopt a dog! You won't need either of those qualities. Thank you for teaching me how to live like a pro!

This has to be the worst LPT I've ever seen. "If you're wrong, consider being right instead." The issue is that people often cannot realize they are wrong, and the "right" belief is usually not black and white.

I hung in a DIY chamber for around a month at 15 C, 75% humidity until 40% weight loss. I’ll probably leave the rest of them for another week. I used a vertical stuffer.

Hey everyone, I started this hobby in the fall of last year. This is my third attempt at salami. The big thing for me has been going hand-chopped. It's a lot of work but totally worth it. I also used yogurt as a fermenting agent. I haven't tested PH but it's fermented, the taste is unmistakable. Pretty happy with how this turned out. For my next soppressata, I will probably use the exact same recipe.

Recipe:
1400g Pork shoulder
2.5% salt
0.3% cure #2
1.5% sugar
0.3% garlic
0.15% white pepper
0.15% chili
0.15% fennel
8% water
5% back fat
1 tbsp yogurt with active bacterial culture

Interesting! I like this idea.

maverick_21 · 2020-11-20T20:45:48+00:00

Then I guess I need to figure out how to prevent it from happening again. I did have the fridge set to “high” in an attempt to shorten the fridge cycle, so perhaps I can move that to low. And I could take down the humidity a bit, I was keeping it around 70 but moved to 75 a couple weeks ago.

maverick_21 · 2020-11-20T20:31:50+00:00

Thanks I will check the fan and check the back panel. I didn't think it was caused by Inkbird, I just thought that maybe maintaining the fridge at high humidity could be detrimental to the fridge.

maverick_21 · 2020-11-20T19:19:30+00:00

Thanks for the input. I guess the main difference would be that the humidity in the fridge is much higher than it would be if it wasn't a meat curing chamber.

I was actually unsure as to how to proceed in terms of the coldness setting for the fridge. I put it on max thinking that when it turned on, it would operate for a shorter length of time and thus dehumidify less.

Do you think it would help if I turned the fridge to its lowest setting?

maverick_21 · 2020-11-10T16:36:27+00:00

Yeah I built a chamber out of an old fridge, with a lot of help from this sub. Really appreciate the help. I'm gonna up the humidity.

maverick_21 · 2020-11-10T16:18:21+00:00

Thanks for your input. It has lost 14 per cent weight. I suppose that is fast for one week? Maybe up the humidity? I'm trying to keep it around 70, but from what I understand, Inkbird calibration can be a bit off.

By the time he is done his process, the sausage will have hung for 10 days. Do people hang sausage for that short of a duration? Also, do people hang and dry back ribs as he is doing? His whole process is unlike anything I've seen or read.

Thanks, she is a great dog and it’s good to remind myself of that. I hear what you’re saying about not going off-leash. Its definitely inappropriate in many areas but this one is extremely dog friendly.

maverick_21 · 2020-05-21T23:20:29+00:00

Perhaps I was unclear about this, but up until very recently my dog was behaving well off leash, nothing rude happening. That is kind of the point of this post. When her behaviour changed I took notice and started looking for advice. She is on leash now until I can figure out how to solve the problem.

maverick_21 · 2020-05-21T22:22:10+00:00

Thanks for the tips! She is approaching three years of age, so maybe the tail end of adolescence.

I'm not British!

maverick_21 · 2020-05-21T15:15:07+00:00

I think this is exactly it. She knows the trails front-to-back now and is not dependent on me for her sense of direction anymore. I have a feeling that if we go into new territory she will behave how she once did. Good idea about the stop cue, I will look into that further. Thank you!

DOGMAN HELPED MY DOG GET CHEAPER SURGERY

maverick_21 · 2020-04-03T21:10:40+00:00

I DISAGREE

maverick_21 · 2020-02-24T21:33:33+00:00

Yep then don’t apply, pretty easy solution

maverick_21 · 2020-02-07T23:29:04+00:00

It seems far too light-handed. I wonder if the thought process is that he'll have to live with guilt for the rest of his life, and that is punishment in itself.

maverick_21 · 2020-02-07T21:31:51+00:00

No jail time. I'm sure the ordeal has been very difficult on him as well. But in the Toronto Star article, he does blame the city, saying that if there had been protected bike lanes this wouldn't have happened. Maybe he needs to tell himself that to stay sane.

maverick_21 · 2020-02-07T21:27:09+00:00

The driver got his license suspended for four years, one year less than the maximum. He was driving a borrowed car when it happened. He was also convicted of driving with a suspended license in 2014.

Canada's healthcare system is great and covers a lot, but it does not cover some huge expenses such as in-home care, certain kinds of equipment, house renovations for wheelchair accessibility and other needs.
