My friend in Naples said the RK in Bonita Springs is closing. That's the one I would go to when we were in Naples.

 

[JckDanls 07]

Yea John.. That's the closest one... It's on the North side of Tampa... I'm on the south side by 30 minutes ...

Wish I could get my Inkbird temp control to work with this fridge.

I do have it steady at 41* just with the temp adjust on back, it is a compressor fridge.

 

[indaswamp]

I'm curious as to why it won't work with that fridge...

I believe those brushes are a LEM product, avaliable on Amazon etc.

Not sure.
Seems to want to heat it even after I have adjusted the parameters, maybe I am just doing things too fast and not reading good.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

I figured it out.
Called read the instructions.

Cool! So one more question....and only because I want to learn...I realize there are many many different styles of dried sausages.

Why do you have the set point at 42*F?

 

[JckDanls 07]

Say it ain't so... A MAN that reads instructions ??

Good catch.

I need to adjust again.


Hey I'm learning from you now

Well I'm learning how to read again.

Well, it is a good practice to lower the temp. below 53*F upon initial drying if you think there might still be sugars left and fermentation might continue. The lower the better down to about 40 being the lower suggested temp.....

So that's why I asked.....

edit to add:
(Of course, this is for a salami with no noticeable tang.)

I just lowered to 40.
It sure do smell like salami.

If you got any tips on this you can pass it on.

I wonder if the led lights are messing things up?

Nowhere in the book for the fridge does it say how to disable the lights. Only time they go off is when the controller cycles down.

That may be an issue.
The fridge was designed to have enough cooling capacity to overcome any heat generated by the LED lights, but that is with power supplied 24/7. When the controlled cuts the power to the fridge upon completion of the cooling cycle, any residual heat in the LED lights will warm the chamber slightly. Is it enough to affect the controller? Maybe...

where is your temp. probe reading the temp. in the fridge? Is it close to the lights? And how many degrees is your temp. band set at? might want to increase that a little to compensate for the LEM light heat....
