    Summer sausage, fermented with buttermilk

    Oh yeah! Got distracted by the culture discussion. Love the casings! So cool. Do you think they will be reusable?

    Summer sausage, fermented with buttermilk

    I don't think this is strictly true, but we are on the fringes of my knowledge here. I think more accurately when the culture dies after lactose is exhausted, the bacteria break down releasing enzymes which break down the caseine into shorter chain amino acid. Does sausage typically ferment to...

    Summer sausage, fermented with buttermilk

    Can cheese cultures ferment meat? I want to get into sausage making, but part of my hang up is I have more cheese cultures than I care to admit, most of which never get used. I don't want the emotional baggage of another bag of cultures sitting in my freezer.

    And the smoky chicken gods said…

    First picture lighting made it look burnt, but then noticed the close up... I'd eat that! Did you do any direct heat cooking to cook the skin? Looks like you have it set up offset. I've never gotten good skin on my offset.

    Smoking with Russian Olives

    I realize this is an OLD thread, but felt better to keep the info in one place. I've been using Russian olive for over a year. We had a bunch of dead trees taken out, so I've got a few cords of the stuff. Unfortunately I've decided I don't like it. It burns SUPER fast, I've got to add wood like...

    How to pickle/can chicken feet?

    I did a search and didn't find any instructions. My kids want to try chicken feet and I don't want to ruin their enthusiasm but cooking then wrong. I probably have 20 feet to work with. I'm pretty confident I can deep fry them and they will gobble them up. Going to brine some and fry them up...

    Return of the Grilled Cheese: the prequel nobody asked for

    Return of the Grilled Cheese: the prequel nobody asked for

    Well I THOUGHT I was done with cheese sandwich posts... But then turns out Friday was a Solemnity, so our family got to eat meat, so couldn't pass up the opportunity to at meat to our Friday cheese sandwiches! This week I opened what was supposed to be a 4 month old Manchego, but the make went...

    Passive humidity control for "caves"

    Trying to implement some humidity control in my cheese "cave". Planning to use an inkbird and small humidifier, but came across this neat article that covers using salts to achieve passive humidity control. Turns out you can achieve different steady state R.H. with different salts...

    Expanded Metal For Grates

    Never made a smoker, but I have two (that have expanded metal, we don't need to talk about the total number...). One has what I expect is normal expanded metal, one has expended metal that was flattened. I HIGHLY recommend getting the flattened version for your grates. The unflatened version is...

    Lodge Sportsman Cast Iron Grill

    It's more involved, but no elbow grease required. You could use electrolysis like the cast iron restore folks do. It WORKS. comes out looking like it just came out of the casing mold. But you still have to get oil on it right away. https://www.castironcollector.com/electrolysis.php

    Episode VI: Return of the Grilled Cheese

    We have arrived at our grilled cheese final destination. Grilled haloumi, stacked with a slice of 3 month old manchego on gluten free sandwich bread. Only way I could think to improve is to add sliced pickles.. Maybe next week... That's all folks! Thanks for looking.
