[quote="etsolakis"]Thanks Phil!
I'm afraid if I mix LS25 with some water, it will be difficult mix well with all the meat.
The amount of LS25, is 0.5gr per kilo.

Not sure why you think that mixing it with water will make mixing with meat harder. If you are that concerned mix the diluted culture with a small portion of the meat then mix that into the remainder once it is well incorporated. The quantities of culture aren't that critical. Your're supposed to use at least 1/4 of the packet for small batches, or the dosing rate, whichever is the greater, according to the manufacturers (so the don't appear to think that it's too critical providing ther is a minimum inniculation density of microorganisms), so the first time I open the packet I divide it into four portions 'cocain style' ( ie with a blade on a tile, and pack into baking parchment 'bindles' which I then vac pack and deep freeze). I just use one of these for each batch.
