I’m going to be making summer sausage this weekend. If I don’t use esa and hold the product overnight, will I still have that tang taste. I’m trying to cut it down a little. I need some help. Don’t want to come up with bad sausage. Thanks

ECA has two functions, it acts as a cure accelerator which lets you go right from stuffing to smoking and it adds that familiar tang. Lots of people use it and lots don’t, you can’t go wrong either way!
