pepaw welcome aboard. This is a great question to post. I don’t have any personal experience with dried sausage, but it seems like others will be able to offer good advice.

pepaw Welcome to the board. I do a fair amount of dried type sausage and it was safe to eat in all reality, but it probably would not have been good to eat. Stuff tight, poke the air pockets, and make sure to get a good bind/protein extraction and next time and you will do fine.

If under 30 days, you should be using cure #1.

Thanks for all the quick responses, I was surprised at so many good responses, I believe I am in the right place .
I will stuff better next time, looking back I was struggling with stuffing and it was to loose. My recipe is 4 lbs venison and 3 pounds pork. I used pork fat, next time I will use pork butt/ shoulder and it should bind better. Also I am using a big wine fridge, and control temp and humidity , 55 degrees and 75% humidity. It seemed like I had it all figured out but there is no teacher like experience.
I really want to get it right, thanks again

Are you using a stuffer or a grinder with a stuffing tube?

[pepaw]

I used a stuffer, in a hurry not clamped down good enough and doing it by myself so it was it was not best situation. Don’t remember why I was rushing but now I pay for it.
