You got a good start going on that bologna

[IdaSmoker]

NePa, could you be more specific on your ingredients and quantities?  I have been trying to find the perfect Lebanon bologna recipe but none of the recipes I've tried have been that good.  Also, are you using any lactic acid bacteria starter cultures, and if so, which one?  Thanks.

To use a starter culture you need a fermentation environment of 80* My fermenting dry cure fridge is down right now.

2nd round of smoke.

[NePaSmoKer]

Finally done. I do all my sausage full time in the smoker. Dont water bath these cloth chubs if you make them.

Pulled at an IT of 150 and right into the fridge hang for couple days.

NePaSmoker, is your aversion to posting your recipes because you are selling commercially?  If not, then what's the reason?  I find it difficult to duplicate your endeavors when I have nothing to go by.  Your sausages always look great but I sure wish you would be more open to providing your ingredients and amounts.

Selling without a USDA Stamp will get you a $100k fine and up to 5 years in the brig  :o

Its a secret receipt  :o

So you are selling your sausage, or at least that's what I assume.  Anyway, I appreciate your feedback and will tend to stay at sausage making forums that actually share recipes for others to try and evaluate.  You can keep your secrets and misspellings.

Just a few words.

Whatever you wanna think.

Oh hell no.  This isn't going unchallenged.  Idasmoker, NePaSmoker is much too nice of a guy but I'm not.  First thing you need to know is, NePaS sells absolutely nothing, commercially or personally.  He does on the other hand makes sausages, sticks, jerky and all kind of goodies and gives it all away.  He also makes pounds and pounds of jerky and sticks and ships it to his sons and their comrades who are stationed in Afghanistan.  He is the most generous guy on the forum, including sharing all of his "receipts" which is a long time running joke that came from another new jerk who hounded NePaS for a recipe but kept spelling recipe "receipt" but you wouldn't know that because you didn't get to know anyone on this forum or introduce yourself to us.

You know nothing about NePaS because you blew in here approximately 3 weeks ago with 5 whole posts, all of them asking for recipes.  Hanging out on the sausage making forums is nothing like being a member of this forum, for you see, we are much more than just a forum to share recipes.  We are a family.  By the way, you failed to mention what kind of smoker you have.  Typically that's the first thing new members of this forum do.  So....what kind of smoker do you have?

My sincere apologies to the members of the forum but this simply doesn't float with me.  If the administrators of the forum feel that they need to delete this post I will understand.
