Salami Classico PTII

[BGKYSmoker]

Small batch for me on these.

First the casings.
Hog 43mm

Dont let anyone tell you they go bad after a few months....BS
Keep them salted covered and in the fridge.

You will need to condition them for a day.
Water and about 1T vinegar.

My mix.
Not pictured is the bactoferm 007, mold 600, LS and red wine.

Using the smaller scale for small batches.

Salt.

Cure 2

Onion

Garlic

BP

WP

Nutmeg

All in the container, mix good.

Im going to give a few quick pulses. Put back in container, cover.
The pork is still frozen so i will grind and finish tomorrow.

Mixing Mold 600.....AKA M-EK-4

You need to inoculate the mold 600 before applying to your salami. Needs a good 12+ hours before adding any distilled or filtered room temp water.

Best if you can dip the links or spray the 600.

2.6g

Mixed into 1/4 cup room temp filtered water. Cover let sit at room temp. Tomorrow add 1L filtered water.

Dont throw you fermenting agents out at 6 months. Keep them in the original packaging and frozen.
Whoever said toss em is full of bat $!#t guano.

Added some filtered water to a larger container for dipping links, then added the 600 and stir well.

Got my casings conditioned and cut.

Twine ready for hanging.

Back into the water bowl.

Gotta get the pork ready for grinding. LS ready, 007 mixed yet.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Mixed in the dry by hand.

Got wine and 007 mixed. I cut back on the wine some.

Wine mixed in. Then add the 007. Let it stand on top of the mix for a few mins before mixing.
Once mixed cover and let stand for bout 45 mins before stuffing.

Ok i'm there.

In the 600. Full dunk for coverage.

Dry some while i get the barrel set up.

Next step. Spray with some LS.

Hang to dry. Bout 7-10 days. I will weigh and tag tomorrow.
Told ya....Old skool

Big like!

I see you dip your links in the mold solution. I have had success brushing on....full coverage and no issues.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

When i use 600 i normally brush but cant locate my bristle brush YIKES

I already had LS in my spray bottle so the dunk was what i did. The 600 was mixed for 2 days and was growing in the container so i hope i get good growth on the links. I also used a bread towel to wipe down the inside of the barrel with the 600. Was going to put the barrel in the shed but its been like close to 90 outside so i put in the rv where the ac is keeping things cool.

 

[indaswamp]

Ah....gotcha.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Weigh day.

Wipped all the mold off, i gotta see em.
