First try at Hard Cure Salami

[Gafala]

Starting the Hard Cure Salami, first get the Bactoferm 600 Mould.

The mix 3grams mould to 1/2 liter distilled water.



In the cabinet to control the temp for the next 12 hours.





We will add another 1/2 liter of water in the morning, I will also be mixing and stuffing the Salami tomarrow and  starting the cure.

S#*t! That is a heck of a control panel for the little Danby!  And how much salami will you be spraying that you need a .5 lt.  I usually use about 3 or 4 oz. to spray 10lbs.  And I don't wake up the culture until about an hour before the act. :D

[Gafala]

Well its my first so I went with the recipe, it calls for the mould to be made 12 hours before. Yes it is big control box but I get +2 deg to -2deg of control. No major mods to cabinet and it works great it was in testing stage for almost three months and no errors or deviation of programmed setup.

Looking forward to seeing the progress of the salami.

Salami mixed and stuffed into casing's. Love my push bar I have no left overs in stuffer.




Mould applied and hung in cabinet.

I am very interested in curing meat this way. I bookmarked the thread. I did some searching on the internet for cabinets. There doesn't seem to be any available to buy, it seems people make them. Is there a site you know of good for information on making a cabinet and curing?

[Gafala]

Well the cabinet  has worked perfectly I now have some really good looking Salami coming along, sorry about no photos of late but we were in the Hospital with a Stroke oh what fun I'm vary luckily that it was a small one and only involves my vision to a small extent. I will try to get some photos in the morning, my testing operation before starting the Salami was the best idea I had the controllers did just what they were programmed to-do.  :) :D

[KyNola]

Hope you're OK man.

Glad to hear your doing OK. Your vision is all that was affected you say, Hmmm. Does that mean you wont notice if the salami is missing, here in a couple of weeks?

[Gafala]

Mo there not missing. HeNe Here is a photo of the two.


They are looking good can't wait 70 days is a long time but it will bw worth it.

[Tenpoint5]

Now that is some good looking mold there. They might come up missing as we get closer to that 70 day mark!

Hope your vision recover's quickly, that is some amazing looking mold coverage, you will need to keep that locked up for sure.
