Rick do you use the 80/20 straight from the store or do you grind it again?

I used store bought this time with a beef fat cut in that i ground frozen

Got the bologna done finally. I did use some of the liquid citric acid. Next time i will use a whole drop. Taste  and texture is like fermented sweet lebnun. I added the liquid CA to the water so it would not start to work as soon as i added to the meat. Fat cut in

Sorry for the crappy pics, my knifes are pretty dull

Very nice!

Looks great!  Looks like it is pretty firm?  So curious at the taste?!?!?  Usually I have some kind of idea this one I am blank

It sure looks better than store bought....

It does look like you had perfect distribution on fat vs meat. I can understand the extra addition of BS but what's the extra CA going to achieve?

Looks like  a salami and looks pretty awesome.

Little more CA will give it a tad more tang. I used the liquid in the water, might have diluted it some.

Wow that looks better than the lebanon bologna I used to buy in PA. Gotta make some of this!
