Turkey and San Fran Style Salami Drying

Just got through the fermentation phase. Looking good :) There is an accumulation of fat at the bottom of one of the salamis, which is concerning.

I am unsure, but maybe the direct heat during fermentation caused it. I used my temperature controller on my chamber connected to a small heater. I usually use a lizard heating bulb, but do to the temperature in my garage this winter I had to step it up. The ambient temperature never got passed 85F 90RH.

My hope is that it does not ruin the salami, but I will have to wait and see.

The more I think about this, the more concerned I am. If the fat rendered, which I am sure it did, then some areas of the sausage reached at least 100F. That gives me a 26 degree window for the F-LC culture to take hold.

On the bright side, a couple salamis seem unaffected, and the large turkey salami is looking good.

Always. I have a digital copy of every salami, or cured solid muscle I have ever made.
