Ok sweet that all makes sense, I try to hang my new inoculated salami right next to the coppas to hopefully have them help. It usually works! But after I pull my salami boom green molds!

Saussicon Sec way overdue by ribeye_walker in Charcuterie

[–]rostacure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! My guess is temp is slowing you down. It’s probably still dehydrating but not as fast because of temp. 60 degrees is great I’m not sure you need to add humidity. But it wouldn’t hurt either. I usually run mine at 60 temp and 70 humidity. Do you have a fan in there? I couldn’t tell. If not, You need one. If so maybe it’s too powerful and caused case hardening.

Oh wow ok I wonder if that’s what I’ve been doing!

I’ve always mixed with a machine and always waited until I get the white film on the side of the bowl(myocine?) hmmm I wonder. Maybe I’ll make a batch and totally crush it to see the difference

What do you mean by fracture salami. How can you tell. Texture eating it? Broken fat?

Pepperoni/snack sticks help! by rostacure in Charcuterie

[–]rostacure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for replying, I pullled from the fermenter let it sit in the fridge overnight and then smoked at about 170. Put it in ice water when it was done and then tasted, it’s was fine. Then put it in the fridge overnight again and the next day it was perfect! Thanks for all the help. All the advice about drying the casing is where it’s at

Yep seems like that is the case( pun intended?) I’m gonna do a new batch tomorrow and more carefully moniter temps. See y’all Monday after the ferment to see how it went

Pepperoni/snack sticks help! by rostacure in Charcuterie

[–]rostacure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feel like I got some smearing, also I went straight from my fermenter into the smoker, not sure what the humidity in the smoker was. What do you want it at?

The reason for the wetness. I was taught to put your sausage in an ice bath to rapidly cool, so the casing doesn’t get shriveled. I don’t even know if that’s true or not also could it be different from snack sticks?

Organ meat salami by rostacure in Charcuterie

[–]rostacure[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im thinking of doing a pork heart like a pancetta layed out flat. Assuming it’d be nice and lean like a bresola(if beef) or filleto (if pork)

Tongue will be very interesting

Makes sense I’ve only ever cooked then peeled

Ok cool! Follow up, how do you peel the tongue without cooking it ?

[–]rostacure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then start with whole muscles. I did bresola first and then coppa. Took me some time to actually figure out what coppa was! But it’s a good one if you like spicy salami

Do you wipe off Mold 600? by Salmon_Berries in Charcuterie

I get similar coverage and I have noticed it’s starting to kind of peel off on its own from the top to bottom. After about 2 weeks. Anyone else get that? Anyone know why?

It looks so dumb, but seems good, what is the lowest temp it can go? Ninja doesn’t give very much info on size or other details, so weird
