Keith Roever Welcome aboard! I’d suggest you join the @Dry-Cured-Sausage group and this would be a great post to create as a question in Meat Processing section. When you go to hit submit there is a drop-down in the blue box, hit the ask question. You can just copy and past what you have above. Also, tag the Dry Cured Sausage group by typing the @ symbol and then as soon as you type out sausage after that you should see that group at the bottom.
One thing you might want to include in that post is what cure you are adding to your sausage.

Thanks. I’ll give that a try.

I’m an idiot. I got into Dry Cured Sausage but cannot figure out how to get to meat processing section. Normally at this stage of confusion witht he internet I get someone under 40 to help me.

Keith Roever You’ll get the hang of it, I still have to search every once in a while, and I have been a member for over 4 years. You are right about asking the younger generation about how to navigate sights. My nephews still laugh at me sometimes, until they need something fixed outside of the internet.

Keith Roever said in Roll Call (Start Here First):
We are having serious challenges with mold, air pockets, and non-uniform shrinkage (instead of nice round shape, think violin).
Mold 600 bactoferm or potassium sorbate will solve your mold problem.
Stuffing the casings tighter, better protein extraction, and additional liquid will fix the air pockets.
The non-uniform shrinkage is most likely due to the reasons stated above.
Welcome aboard. -

Howdy.
From Northern California…. Near Sacramento. Processed a lot of domestic and wild game when I was younger. Still raise animals for the family and getting more time in the field. We grew up primarily making Swiss Sausage and variations of Italian… most of my mentors being from those areas, as well as Portugal. I look forward to picking up a lot of new info from everyone in here. Thanks! -
