I went with 12 instead of 10.
Going to be a cure #2 mix.

These are all mixed and stuffed.

Going to be interesting to see how the eco cure 2 does.

Going to be interesting to see how the eco cure 2 does. They smell pretty good. Used 20mm smoked collagen.
Temp where these are hanging for 24 hours is between 72-74*
Going to hit em with some cold smoke after they ferment.
Why buy short shots when you can make em.

Looking good Rick! I have some pepperoni and romano cheese stix on deck....soon as I finish the optimization modifications in Norcini Nirvana!
 
These were fast to ferment. I used my proofer set at 74* no water as the moisture in the shortshots were giving off humidity.

Glad I kept my biltong/droewors dryer bucket.

Not sure about this eco cure #2 yet compared to cure 2

These will tell in about 3-4 more days hang time.

They smell good, getting firm.

Had to slice one up.

Looks good, smells good.
My pH was 5.2 during fermenting/hang time.

What do I think about EcoCure #2....EH, I'm going to stick with the regular cure #2

These are going to get a few more days of dry hang time.
