Dont know what kind yet but getting the poke cubed. Trimmed weight i have 6lbs.

Have many salumi recipies just dont know which one i will use yet.



Cut out all membrane yuk, arteries and tendons.

This is my main grind meat.



My fat grind.


After cutting i zip bag seperatly and squeeze out as much air as i can so the pork dont get gassy and rot.

Decided to make ginger salami.

My mix items. Minced garlic not shown.


T-SPX Bactoferm mixed with 3T cold distilled water (do not use hot water, it will kill the fermentation agent) I added a small pinch of dextrose to the t-spx. Set aside as this will be the last thing mixed into meat before stuffing.


I ground all the dry except the black pepper, red pepper and garlic.



2 lbs of pork being ground. The zip lock is to keep the splat off the wall  :D


1/2 lb pork fat.



Ready to mix in the dry. Easy mixing by hand just dont overwork and smear the fat.



Ready for the stuffer.


Stuffing tube the wrong way. This will allow air inside the bag or casing.


The right way, bring the meat right to the end of the tube.



This is my 1st time using the DryBags fo salami. I closed the ends (bottoms) in 3 diff ways.
Left is normal straight across seal, Middle across and slight corners, right across and more cornered.



Hanging cabinet is just about perfect fermentation temp of 77*


Will follow with more pics as salami progresses.

Fermentation is done. The fermenting smell is gone and i smell vermouth.

Fat and spice look even.


In the fridge now. Got a Bradley rack inverted and a frog mat on I would rather see small squares than large ones from the weight. Black spots are from the malabar ground pepper.
