Here's the process in photos . Grinding is boring and didn't take any photos of that.

 

#1-Stuffing setup

#2-First one off the stuffer

#3-Drying the casing over the sink

#4-Finished Product, first batch blooming. When the desired cloom or color is reached it goes in the fridge.

Looks really good. How long does it take to bloom and what causes it?

CD,

 

Nope...Gotta go with a purpose built Salami chandelier. Think heavy Striper Trolling tree with the stuffed casings hanging from the ends like lures and the lights hanging under the casings. The lights assist in the drying process. And of course there's the clear plex drip pan. Nice!

Forgot to tell you that the initial color bloom comes from the smoke. You can cook it fresh off the stuffer and it will not go mahogany on you. If you use heavy smoke you get a nice color and added flavor also. I use hickory but other stuff would work as well. Heat only produces a rather wierd looking Kielbasa.

It is beautiful stuff for sure.
