Rick Thanks the Soppressata I started is loosing weight but the bag is still tight,any problem with that?

TIA Richie

Thanks for the points I appreciate it
Nothing wrong with that. Most of the time the bag will loose contact with some of the meat surface, looks like air pockets in the casings but your still good.
 
It looks great.

I have some 50mm I plan on pepperoni with.  

I have a curing chamber but want to try the bags to see the difference.

Huge thread coming soon.
 
 
After aging, peel away UMAi Dry. You will find the crusting mixture has bonded with the surface of the meat beautifully.

From what I read on the UMAI recipes....  the bag "should" stay stuck to the meat for the entire aging process...
Thanks Dave the videos show it pulling away,I had to ask.

What Percentage did you dry it to, Richie? It will be better after a couple of weeks in the fridge. I think it looks great.

Good deal. I was surprised at how much better mine was after a couple of weeks. The moisture equalizes and the flavors seem to blossom.

Thanks I was worried it would stay hard that sounds good.

Soppressata looks like it has about a week to get down to 35%
