My first try at Salumi with the UMAi 50mm came out so good (Soppressata) that I was ready to try Mettwurst. Sorry, but I'm using the mix from the UMAi site again. I'll do my own mix next time. The mix doesn't include salt, cure or culture.
I found meat mixes which used pork, beef and lamb, but I went with straight pork shoulder for the first try.
Note: You can blow out a UMAi bag if you're not careful.
I cut the bags to 24" to make two 10" links to hang connected.
5# makes 10 more or less equal lengths.
Hung to ferment in the closet and two days later they colored up nicely.....
They're residing in the warehouse fridge at work (along with the Bresola. Another post [emoji]128522[/emoji])

See you in 3 or 4 weeks!

I'm not worried about it, CM. I have an honest crew and they all know they can have some when it's done.
Besides, I make the schedule. A couple of 5am to 2pm days and someone would crack...
:biggrin:

UMAi suggests an unused oven for the fermenting, but the Mrs balked at that. She couldn't see not having the oven available for 2 or 3 days.
The closet is "mine", and there's no smell...
You're going to get a kick out of seeing it change color, Richie.

I use the closet all the time for fermenting, no worries.
 
Ok, It hasn't even been 3 full weeks but I'm at 40% loss. Fine with me [emoji]128578[/emoji]

Never had Mettwurst before. Sort of like Soppressata with a Nutmeg twist...
I like it!
Gotta love meat candy.
:yahoo:
 
Those turned out great! Point!
Thanks, Idaho! I'm very happy with how it turned out.
I think I'm just going to vac these as links instead of dragging out the slicer. They slice easily into thin slices with a sharp knife.
 
SM,  Great looking mettwurst, looks like a real winner ! point
