    Venison Bacon

    Nice looking bacon the picture of bacon in the pan sweet.  I use bread pans and line them with saran wrap leaving enough so you can cover the top. Stack the bread pans on top of each other for weight.

    Elk Summer Sausage

    Citric acid calls for 1.5 oz per 25 lbs. my personal taste is 1oz per 15 lbs.. Do to its encapsulated it  can't be ran threw the grinder, but is mixed in last To release it needs to reach a temp of 135 degrees. Its cheaper then fermento.
