The FL-C and Mold-600 that I used on this last batch were within the Best If Used By date stamped on the packages but they were stored outside the freezer for at least a year. I don't want to take any chances with improperly stored culture.
Thanks guys, much appreciated. Looks like I just made an expensive mistake and I'll need to toss this current batch of dry cured salami
Thankfully I have fresh packages of Bactorerm FL-C and Mold-600 that just arrived the other day- they left Sausage Maker on the 12th so I'm 6 days into the 12...
Hi folks, can the freeze dried Bactoferm cultures be stored safely unfrozen if they are unopened in their original packaging? I was under the impression that storing them in the freezer was a requirement only once the original packaging was opened.
Thanks
I know this is an old thread but I just stumbled on it....if you guys make St. Louis style ribs at all when you trim up the spare ribs a lot of the fat and meat that comes off in that process makes really good grind. There is some stuff you'll want to trim off but if you spend a few minutes you...

Was fortunate enough to be able to make it up to beautiful Wyoming this past holiday weekend for some camping with the family and friends. I landed a handful of Brook Trout from one of the creeks near the camp site so I decided to try smoking them up!
Here they are all cleaned up and out of...
Hi guys, I have some left over pheasant that I'm going to try turning into snack sticks mixed with some pork and beef. Is 165 the correct temp to go to on the sticks due to the poultry? Will definitely have cure in them
Thanks!
Hi sprky, well I figured the galvanized parts don't actually come in contact with the food or the heat source and it doesn't get hot enough inside the box to initiate any molecular level movement of the zinc.
if anyone has any other info on the subject I'd be happy to hear!
Hi Al, thanks...I just fixed my image hosting issue
anyway, I ordered a gas burner from Northern tool...waiting for that to show. For cold smoking when I need the temp below 100 I have a 1000 watt electric burner ( probably buy a second since this smokehouse is bigger than my other). I have a...
