This latest batch should be done just in time to come to BBQ on the River, 9/26-9/28. Yet another good reason to come to Paducah!
These are some seriously good sticks.

That is some really good news, I was hoping that would be the case.
Had other things going so had to freeze the meat.
Today i got the Salami ready to go.
My ingredients. Top left to bottom right are.
56.0g pure salt
4.0g fennel seed
35.0g NFPDM
9.0g dextrose
4.0g black pepper
3.0g mace
6.0g garlic powder
Blue bowl. 1 .5 T cold distilled water with 0.2g Bactoferm LHP Dry. Added a pinch of dextrose to help the LHP activate.
7.0g cure #2
0.1g jalapeno powder
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal.jpg)
I mixed all the dry in a zip lock.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal1.jpg)
Put the dry in my mortar pestle to break the fennel up some then in a small bowl.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal2.jpg)
4 lbs 90/10 gb and 1 lb ground poke. Use the KA dough hook, the paddle just makes the meat jumble in the middle. Add the dry slowly. If needed add small amounts of water.

Ready for stuffing. (sorry lousy pic)
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal4.jpg)
All stuffed up. Used smoked collagen. Mold may/may not form.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal5.jpg)
Hanging to ferment for 12-14 hours. No heat or smoke from the smoker.
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal6.jpg)
Figures. We have had rain 80* temps and 80% r/h all week except for today >:(
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal7.jpg)
Gotta bring the r/h up in the cabinet
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab242/nepas1/2013%20sausage/fdsal8.jpg)
To be continued
Waiting for updates with baited breath and I've taken the liberty of bookmarking so I can refer back when I get to start making sausages.
Fermentation is done. Now the dry time begins. Side cabinet is almost perfect temp & r/h

Be very careful picking around in there. There's some scary stuff in there!

Looks and taste good but maybe another 1-2 days to dry up more.

Collagen casing peeled clean off.

Those look great Rick and I know how good they taste. Mmmm :)
I'm drooling, they look tasty and I like dried sausages better than beef jerky for sure.
Going to cut today.

This container will work.

Holes in top will let air circulate.
