I think your sausage is sexy!

Are you letting it hang in the kitchen, or in a chamber?

Looks amazing. I'm in for the finale.

Looking good, I'm confused as you can't control humidity or temp or can you ?

I can control the temp and humidity in my motorhome. Dont let anyone tell you that you need all the fancy equipment.

This is not my 1st dry cure rodeo.

If using T-SPX for traditional method of drying this culture will not provide food safety through lowering pH level but, it will help lower aW. Use for products needing at least one month's time for drying and do not ferment with this product over 75°F.

Allied-Kenco does not note the 75 deg. F maximum temperature... the above is from Sausage Maker.... Poli mentions 86-90 deg F incubation....

I guess my question is.... Do different manufacturers make the culture differently.... Or, during testing, do they find an improved product using different incubation temps.... or none of the above.....

You are a sneaky sneaky man! I thought you were hanging in netting! I'm loving that casing!

The sausage looks perfect! Great work showing that a full blown modded refrigerator with temp/humidity control isn't always required!

Granted, one needs to follow the process really close, but you've proven that it can be done if one wants to!

Boy I wish I could do this,,,,, Just not enough time in a day for me,,, Great Job Nepas!!!!
