1st attempt at salami - help needed

Well I've got the salami kit, 2lb of diced shoulder meat and 1/2 lb of back fat. What do I do now? My kit didn't seem to have LS25 Starter Culture (unless it was already in the mix) or details of how much mix to add to the meat and I don't want to mess it up!

Any help greatfully accepted :D

Also what's the best way of storing my casings - they're in the fridge at the mo.

Panic over - hubby had kindly half unpacked the parcel for me and had put the starter culture and instructions "away" but left the rest of the stuff in the parcel :roll:

Salami's made and hanging up :D

Casings in the fridge is fine, they'll keep for months that way.

Thanks :D

Salami's are made and hung. The only thing worrying me now is the instructions say hang at 24-26C for 8 hours (fine, I've done that) then hang at 26-30C until dry - in my book it says to hang them at 15-18C for the 2nd stage :?

Must be a mis-print. Your book is correct.

Hi all I just recieved the same kit, obviously the same instruction. I also thought much cooler temperatures were required.
