Salami di Alessanddra (Genoa)

Right on Aaron. Wish I was closer to you when it is time to sample. Maybe by this summer I can get something going like you did. Hard to find a fridge/cooler at the right price. FREE would be good  ;D

I AM close enough when it's time to sample...Fall City to Puyallup is definitely less than an hour! Ready, willing and able!

Yes, I own a brewery in Snoqualmie, and I will bring the beer!  He HAS to invite us for the tasting, no?

Sounds good, Time will tell. I figure they got to get down to about 2 # each for a 30% Aw loss.

No Taste testing on this batch guys :)
I ended up drying my Salami to fast because I chose to use a circulating fan that was more powerful than neccesary. What happens when drying salami if the humidity is not high enough and there is to much air circulation the most inner outside of the casing will form a scab (see the ring) and then not let any more moisture out leaving a hard outer salami and a soft inner salami.
This was a great first time learning experience and I plan on Jumping right back in the saddle soon.

Do you think your power outage had anything to do with it Aaron? I think those would still go good with beer.

Tequila wouldn't help these things :) the power loss had nothing to do with it. it was my own fault that i tried to use a to high output fan and I should have trusted the humidistat on the controller for the humidifier instead of the $8 digital temp/RH monitor I trusted. Next time they will be perfect, promise ;)

Outstanding

I am so jealous...it's so dry and warm here...I don't think I can do it...

Aaron, Don't throw it out. I almost did with the salami you tried at my house, but I turned everything off and forgot about it. Cut into it a couple of weeks ago and was surprised.

With the high humidity around here it's worth a shot.
