Salami Milano Style

[devo]

I'm pumped and I'm stressed at the same time. I kicked off this dry curing adventure with this recipe

Salami Milano Style

I used Beef Middles for the casings, tough suckers thats for sure, no blow outs with these things  ;D
Day one, in the Dry Cure Cabinet @ 12 PM.
Incubate @ 85°F and 90% R/H for 24 hours.
Seems easy enough  ??? ??? We will see  :-\
The small one with the string weighed in at 463 grams. Needs to loose 30% of its weight


And here is what they are suppose to look like when they are done.

Cool, now its wait time. I clicked on the link and it automatically all by itself downloaded the recipe to my kindle app on my cell phone, that was weird.

Ditto

I like them beef middles, nice and thick.

Like Aaron said...now the wait.


Nice job.

Great job Devo.

You'll have to give use a good taste report on that recipe. I was also eyeing that one if I ever get my cabinet underway.

Starting to get some action on these. Took three days but the white mold is starting, that,s a good thing by the way. Thanks Aaron for telling me to just relax and let it do its thing.  ;)
Hopefully this will just keep getting better.

You must be doin something right to get the mold growing right on time, Looks just right!!!

[NePaSmoKer]

Looks most excellent. Gotta like that mold 600.....EH

Dam Aaron I'm almost at the point of telling my boss I gotta go home to check on things :)...... the good part is he knows what I can produce and has eaten many a good meal so he tells me if you need to go than just5 go. :)

Are you using a freezer for the dry curing?  I am thinking about getting into the dry curing and interested in what other people have done.
Thanks

Looks great Don. I have a large old upright freezer I could do some of this with.

Don

While my fridge is down for maintenance i have found these minor issues.

Even with using distilled water in your humidifier it can still get a slimy build up and slight mold growth on the outside. I wiped mine down with vinegar.

Thanks Rick for the heads up, I will keep an eye on that.

Yes. You can use a fridge or pop cooler also. The price was right on the freezer....FREE  ;)

Kirby hope you get better soon bud and look forward to seeing if you get into this. Its sure is fun watching and waiting  ;D ;D

Day Four
Gave the little guy another spray of Bactoferm Mold-600 (Penicillium nalgiovense). Seems slower than the others to get the mold happening.

Lookin' great Don!

I am sssoooo jealous... Still haven't had time to look for a cabinet yet.
