Ox Runners & Beef Runners

Postby Peter Ramone » Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:19 am

Couple of questions Franco. (some you have answered but like a fool I didnt write it down)

1) Whats the difference between Ox Runners & Beef Runners.

2) What was I sent with my Salami Making Kit

3) I am sorry but I didnt write down the Salami Kit recipe you told me over phone, could you confirm it :-

Incubate / Redden for 24hrs at 24-26c at 80% Humidity
Dry for 3 to 4 days at 30c at 80% humidity.

Based on using 1kg pork, 0.5g starter & 60 / 65gm of Miliano / Chorizo

My first time too, and all the indicators are that if you get it wrong you can end up poisoning yourself, but hey what are my family for if not to experiment on. Luckly I have enough children to have a control sample.

Interesting - i've read (mostly on the Len Poli site) that you should use a cool-air humidifier. I suppose for the incubation, the warm-mist type are OK, but for drying, don't you want to keep a low temperature and high humidity - like 12-18 degrees C and 70-80% humidity? I wonder if the warm-mist will raise the temperature too high for the drying phase.

I don't suppose you've done test runs in the area you will be drying in to see what the temperature is when the humidifier is on?

Yes, extensive test runs. The Humidifier has a high and low setting to, and in the drying phase I will set it to low and move it further away from the middle. I need to get to about 18c - 19c for the drying phase I will therefore switch the heater to a lower setting or off & use the humidifier as a heater. This is my first attempt therefore it is subject to experiment / trial & error.
