Saturday Meats! Soppersatta, Salami
-
Darn, when I saw this post I thought it meant deplorablenc1 was back! Not that I don’t love all of you guys but I love seeing older timers on occasionally.
-
So my plan was to make snack sticks with cheddar and plain today because my order from Waltons came in! I did get all of the mix done (and excellent protein extraction ) and put in bags to stuff tomorrow morning and smoke.
I did get my Sopersatta and Hard Salami mixed, stuffed, and hung in the curing chamber! Will keep y’all updated on its progress but looking good and smells good so far!
Hope y’all had a great Saturday, I will get my snack stick pics up tomorrow!


deplorablenc1 - That is a nice meat project. Good Job!
-

Let me share in your happiness left is all beef salami and right (stacked) is my sopprasseta which just came out of the meat locker

Dr_Pain When I see a post like this and I realize I still don’t have anything to turn into a curing chamber

deplorablenc1 - Is that a home made humidity chamber? Humidity is a real issue here in Denver area, we hardly ever have any.

My meat locker is a used commercial freezer which I retrofitted with some controller for humidity and temperature. As you can see I have computer fans for circulation when I decide to use it as a dry aging locker. Currently the fans are not active because when you age charcuterie you want minimal airflow to prevent the dreaded hard ring of death. I do have a 6L humidifier and a dehumidifier in the locker to keep perfect 50-55F and 80% RH

I have a mini-fridge in my bar area in the basement that rarelygets used and it does have some sort of humidity function…I think? Darn it, now I need to check but my main question is Dr_Pain have you ever done anything and instead of hanging it perfectly vertically it hangs sort of in a loop?

Like this Jon? Pepperoni and ring bologna and polish get put in a loop.

Do it man! Even if you start small. You’ll never buy pepperoni or salami from the store ever again. Neither will you buy cheeses if you are interested in experimenting
