27 days, 34% weight loss, chamber has been steady at 54F/73% a nice coating of white mold and no off smell, maybe just maybe they will be a good first try.
Would you guys cut one yet? had to hold off when i weighed them today, was itching to slice one

They should be safe now but I would give them a couple more weeks. How do they feel?

So 1 of my "Salamis" has a 35% loss today, i do realize it needs more but couldnt resist cutting it to look.
To me it looks good, taste is very mild, still has a "raw" texture to me, what you guys think?

That looks good to me.
Give the others some more time and see if you like the texture better.

I agree, t looks good - it's just a case of drying it to your liking now.

What a difference a few days make, cut it again today, oh boy, its delicious, very mild but the texture is spot on to how i like it.
My afternoon snack today
I dont notice any case hardening, should i vac it anyway? if so, for how long? oh and do i wash off the mold?
