Sausage and salami - Page 12

Looks awesome big time.
So is this a different much bigger stuffer??

pmcgrady · February 19, 2019

It's got to ferment tonight/ tomorrow for 15 hours at 85 degrees at 90% humidity, then in the drying chamber at 60 degrees at 55% humidity for 30 days or until it looses 30-40% of its weight.
The summer sausage is drying, on tables then cold smoked for 3 days in a smokehouse then air dried. Coppa's,Lonzino's and Bresaola's are getting ready for their second cure, I'll take pics of them soon.

Yes! We had to break out KONG! A 25# stuffer with 2 speeds low and high, worked Awsum, would have taken 2 days with the 10#, the meat mixer is huge also.

I saw that.

I was in a German meat market last week where they make and sell every kind of sausage you can think of. The only thing I bought was a half tube of summer sausage with jalapenos and cheese in it. I love it.

Great looking products you're turning out!!!

We air dried the summer sausage overnight before we sent it to the smokehouse, it's amazing how much color it changes overnight.

These sausages were made in the basement of a hotel built in the 1860's... it's like a museum. All the sheets to the right are covering motorcycles ,new and old...

I'll need you to send me one of those for quality assurance reasons as soon as they're done.

I cooked some breakfast sausage links this morning...
I've never tasted any better!

DonDuck · February 22, 2019

Hmmm, basement of old hotel? Sounds like a good place to grow some mushrooms or cure some hams, or let some cheese age. Throw the motorcycles away and put the space to really good use.

Pmcgrady, I'm really impressed with all of your sausage and it looks absolutely delicious but I'm most impressed with all of the stainless steel surfaces you have.

There is a commercial stainless kitchen setup where we made the sausage/salami.
Tables, stove, griddle, refrigerators and sinks etc. Cleanup with a sanitizer and some bleach water is a breeze. The Lonzino's need taken out of cure tomorrow and stuffed in 100mm casings, netted and hung in curing chamber. Coppa's need a few more days in cure. It's been a lot of work, but so far everything has turned out very good.

Bresaola and Lonzino out of cure, rinsed and air drying for a few hours.

Bresaola stuffed in collagen and netted, ready to hang for at least 3 weeks.

Lonzinos ready to go 12 hours at 80 degrees 80% humidity, then into chamber for 17 days.

Soppressata and Bresaola in chamber.
