    Shelf stable definition

    I have some great product coming out of the charcuterie chamber, Genoa, Sopressatta, chorizo, etc. All have preformed as they should and I've achieved my goals of weight loss, PH, used the right cures, the right cultures. . .everything is spot on. Now..... besides eating myself into oblivion ...

    1st Try at Salami

    I like to keep an eye on the PH level also. The meters are not that expensive. It's a good way to double check how your culture is performing. I concur The T-SPX usually takes my products a good 65 + hrs. But, I'm not using the Umai

    Covid Vaccine ?

    Agreed on all counts. I'm not a fan of the RmNA technology. If I chose a vaccine, it'll be JnJ Fun to see what the group is doing though... as long as we can be open and kind about it.

    Covid Vaccine ?

    I'm 68 with no known health issues. I'm choosing to cautiously wait for the J&J to hit rural Alabama. I still get out and about on a regular basis with precautions (mask, distance, washing when returning. etc.). No trust here. I was never a good "follower"...

    Dirty racks

    My question would be... Will these matts allow smoke through the surface or not?

    Dirty racks

    I'm new around here so I may have missed a conversation that covers this but...... I use my smoker for multiple things, When I go to smoke cheese, I've constantly got dirty racks. My cheese then has the possibility of cross contamination. Has anyone seen any type, or made any type, of...

    Need some ideas for snack stiks

    I have a friend who cannot eat any, beef, pork, lamb, venison, OR anything that even contains a hint of those, so .... I can only use chicken or turkey and I'm locked into cellulous casings because collagen casings will kill him. I did some Italian Chicken sausage (fresh) and a savory chicken...

    First time LandJager

    thanks! It is tasty. Chamber was at 56 deg. and I was fighting with high humidity, so average was 86%. I think I put too much product in there too fast.

    First time LandJager

    This was my first try at charcuterie and a workout for the newly converted Pepsi cooler. I did a small batch of LandJager semidry sausage. Stayed in the charcuterie chamber for 30 days. Picked up some molds. I figure the whites were from the other product I added in the following month that...

    Help - cured salami gone bad

    Don't get discouraged! We all crash a few, I hate the waste. The chamber will work. I did mine just like you did. I am too inexperienced to try without the cultures. I get the feeling that maybe the old ways like your parents did and the new ways with the chamber don't mix? You'll get it...
