  • A AK Meats

    IVERYAN sweet thanks for the tip!!! I used my kitchen aid to mix it…I think I could have mixed it more to get that protein extraction…and do you have any suggestions for a binder??

    AK Meats I have used suregel and had good luck with that, also when you think you have mixed enough see if it sticks to your hands and try and pull apart should stretch out before it breaks.

      AK Meats Looks like Hi Mountain uses maltodextrin as a filler/binder.
      Since sure gel isn’t an option try nonfat milk powder to add more binding.
      Also great advice that others have given and protein extraction can’t be stressed enough
      Good Luck on your next batch!

        AK Meats Where in Alaska do you live. They could ship it to someone in the continental US then USPS it to AK rather than UPS. Ask Jon or Austin if they can use USPS to ship to you, if would certainly be much cheaper.

                    AK Meats USPS isn’t, it went to somewhere near Ketchikan to a fishing community that had a PO. The others live in Anchorage.

                        I agree with PapaSop on the sure-jel and I also like the “twang” the ECA gives.
