I know this is an older post, but, I making this tomorrow and want to make sure I have things right.
Steps:
Grind meat through course plate
Mix spices...Sticky consistency?
Add bactoferm
Stuff tubes and hang to ferment...+/-72 hrs
Refrigerate til 35-40% weight loss
Vac seal and back in fridge....for how long?
Then last dry in paper bags....again how long?

Sorry to ask so many questions. Just trying to get this right so maybe not so many questions next time . Appreciate all that is shared here, sure makes things easier. Thanks.

BR, I use a 3/8 plate for grinding.mix until the meat sticks to your hand,don't overmix.Don't forget cure #2 .I hang for 3 days at around 70 degrees in the closet,you don't want drafts.Weigh immediately after stuffing before hanging.Put on a rack in fridge so air is on all sides of your sausage, I go about 33-35% loss. Nepas does the bag trick for a week , I just cut into sections and vac seal and refrigerate until eaten.

Thanks crazymoon. That's about the plan of attack I had. I noticed he actually vac sealed twice. Once after achieving weight loss and then for storage. It was the first one I was curious about. Thanks.
