Would you mind sharing your recipe/process that you use? I have tried several and looking to learn. I added a few onces of red wine to mine this time.Well they were gone within 4 days so they musta been good.
I'm also curious that you say you put them in the press and off to the fridge. All the ones I have done call for fermenting from 3 to 4 days at 80 degrees. I pressed mine for 2 days, dried them for a few hours and then back in the press for another 2 days this time...albiet my press is a lot simpler than yours...I may copy your press for my next batch.I wasnt going to but i had to.
Made some Landjaeger mix.
Had my casing soaking, mixed the meat and did some late night stuffing for the press.
A sheet of freezer paper over the links, the top on and now in the fridge for a day or so.
My buddy Mark and I made a press too. Somewhat different than yours. We used 3/4” birch A/B plywood and 1/4” polycarbonate plastic on bottom butted to birch plywood 1” x 2” for easy clean-up. It presses to 11/16”. We put 16 1/4” x 3” bolts ( two in each corner)with counter sunk nuts on bottom . Once the top of press is fitted we use 16 wing nuts ( two in each corner) to tighten. Seems to work for our preferences. Bottom top blue is top piece of press. Bottom board is picture of press tightened down with wingnuts. Left bottom of press. Right is picture of full press tightened.I need something to do so we are making some Landjaeger press molds.
Hardwood ply.....NO WAY to much $$
S4S Ply 3/4" for the base and tops.
Poplar for the dividers and slats.
Made a couple spacers so all the sections will be the same width.
After its all together i will cold smoke the press and top so they get a nice season. I'm thinking after the season maybe a coat of chopping block oil?
Slats are 3/4 x 3/4" x 18"
Spacers are 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" x 3/4"
Base and tops 20" x 18" X 3/4 "
