Mould on Lomo

Postby Davea » Thu Sep 15, 2022 4:33 pm

I put a cured 1500gm lomo in my converted fridge on 4/9/22. Running at 13c and 81 ish RH. Inoculated it with a commercial mould as per Grissell. A nice white mould has been forming.
However today I saw a few light greeny/grey patches, slightly furry. I have brush the complete Lomo with red wine vinegar and stuck it back in the drying chamber.
Btw it's lost around 100 gms in that time
Any comments on this would be useful
Thanks in anticipation

That's a long time to have only lost 100 g. Next time I would look for plated natural casing to wrap the lomo or even a beef bung instead.
Fashionably late will be stylishly hungry.

In order to eat this uncooked what would be the ideal weight loss to be considered safe?

It's now running at 30% loss.
Time to open it?
Or leave it to go to 35%

Many thanks
