Old SS recipe I found

[crankybuzzard]

A week or so ago I was going through a box of books that used to be my fathers and I found one of the old ledgers from our family farm.

Inside the book was an old recipe for SS that said to “let the beer sour meat for 3 days”. The recipe looked pretty good, so I made a 5 pound batch.

It’s smoking now in my scrap wood smoker I’m using until I finish the main build I’m working on.

I’ll get some sliced shots later and if the recipe is solid, I’ll post it.

Looking forward to the finish!

Sounds like it might be a hit. I too am interested in a recipe. Never can have too many lol?

This one was FUN to decipher... Coffee cup of salt, corcander seeds, 100 pounds trim, etc... I tried to get it right, but I may have just invented a new one figuring it all out and then scaling down to a 5# batch. We shall see I guess...

WTH is a corcander seed? I went with coriander, I guess that was available in the 40s? No clue.

Well it'll be interesting to see how well you did deciphering it.

Anything that has Yuengling I'm interested in.

Coriander seeds are Cilantro seeds, lot of folks don't know that

 

[Brokenhandle]

Yep, I'm wondering how Gethroes ciphering was as well!

Yeah. probably a miswritten word...coriander.

BTW, Coriander is the oldest spice known to man according to the written record.....

Sweet little throw together smoker....I like the bungie door latch!

Thanks. The scrap wood smoker was made on a whim when I realized that I was about to need to smoke some sticks about 6 months ago.

I have an electric element in the bottom of it and control it with an Auber PID. It's been working great, but no way I could use it for anything more than jerky or sausages. I have a larger smoker in work, but need to decide the layout of the outdoor cooking area before I can finish it. This little critter has turned out some killer jerky, salmon, and sausages so far! I plan to "upgrade" it a bit and keep it in the lineup as I go along.

Go easy on the bungie, she's been through a lot! LOL

I'm in agreement, more than likely coriander, so that's what I went with.

Sausage is at 137 IT now, so I should know soon....

True, and taste nothing like cilantro. They are earthy and a good spice that way.

CB, I'm also interested in your deciphered product .

CB, I like your smokehouse and interested as well on how the SS turns out!

The question is did you let the beer sour the meat for 3 days?
