    1st Time Snack Sticks

    I air dried in front of a fan for about 6 hours. Didn't notice much even after putting in the fridge for 48hrs. Ended up drying for 6 days.

    1st Time Snack Sticks

    They're holding in the fridge wrapped in paper. They'll come out tomorrow afternoon maybe another day depending how they look. Definitely going for a semi-dry.

    1st Time Snack Sticks

    Alright. 10hrs later.. 152(got to 153 with holding for 15mins) and they're drying in the house with a fan. They look good. Might let them sit out overnight and bag them to the fridge tomorrow when I get up for work around 6am.

    1st Time Snack Sticks

    Thanks y'all. Got a probe in there closely watching the temps. I've read a bunch of conflicting saying ice bath, or hang and dry for 24hrs. I believe im going to hang these.

    1st Time Snack Sticks

    Alright. Thanks to some expert advice I have decided to smoke and hold to a 152IT for 15minutes. What a battle this has been. My stuffing tube which I was very confident was the right size, could not fit the prerolled casings. So I had to unravel the casings and manually load. Hanging these...

    Chourico Recipe?

    Great to know. What do you mean by "bag sausage"? It is resting in the fridge and was for about 8hrs when I tested but will definitely try again after 48hrs

    Chourico Recipe?

    I think the wine needs to be increased maybe to 1.5x. I'd also be interested in doing the black pepper weight to half with the other have white pepper. Cayenne just slightly down. I think ill add the traditional bay leaves while it'd marinating for 24hrs as well.

    Chourico Recipe?

    My verdict. Spice level is good borderline high side. Salt is good. It's just missing something. It's close though. Got to think about this.
