the relitive humidity will go up as themp drops. As the temp stabilizes so will the humidity. I have a 20cu freezer for my chamber and had to go to a pc power supply 12 v fan, and control fan speed with a cheap volt regulator. Works great, I start it on high and one a week slow it down.

looks great, i would suggest you put a variable power to fan. Over curing you should reduce air flow a little every few days. If not sausage drys too fast and can case harden. At least that has been my experience. Good look looks great, lots of great sausages and lomo to cure. BigRub
temp sounds low to start, good to finish, I start humd at 80-85 and step down a week at a time to 60%. can add a bucket of water to shed for dry days or wet towles, light bulb or small heater to kick up temp. I think the ceramick heat lamps for re-ptial works?
glad to help. with casing like hog, start with high humid 75-85% for few days to week, use higher fan setting, step down hum one a week say 5% an lower fan speed., depending on sausage they usually call for demt to be reduced along with hum. They usually end at 60% hum 50-60 deg, little or now...
air flow is inportant, actualy you start with more air flow and reduce as product cures. I put a volt controller on my 12 volt pc fan, cheap $10 charger with many volt tips. I wll look for art I saw on actual flow rates, nice to know but i do not know how to convert to one chamber. Start high...
I spend my summers in Canada so kind of grew up on it. They call it PeaMeal from the corm meal they roll it in. Can also make a cottage roll from the Mortains cure. Made with a shoulder or butt. Then boil with cabbage. Quit good for an English meal.
