Is this the same mix you used on the first Landjaeger? Have you ever thought of dropping some of this in the dehydrator and see how close it comes to the first batch you have hanging in the shower.
This batch is the same mix but i used cure 1 so the shelf like on the counter is only a day or 2 then it has to be in the fridge or freezer. I never really liked using the dehydrator with sticks. Maybe i should try it soon.
Oh, heck yeah!
Looks pretty darn tasty!
I guess I was curious how close the two taste would be? I know I would try a little just for the education. I might be tempted to strip the skin off a little to see how it would dry compared to one with the casing still on.
You would have to admit if it turned out close it would be very nice.
