Week 4, hit the 35% weight loss # exactly, which is what I was going for, but didn't expect the results I got.
Not sure if it was the fan blowing air around in the first week or the fact that I let it go to 35% weight loss, but the outer 1/8" or so is very hard.
Even though it tastes great, I would not serve this to guests.
Eating this is like eating an orange slice. Eat all but the rind, Haha
Tuesday going shopping so will be starting a new batch of this Genoa Salami towards the end of the week.
Probably make more pepperoni since I have that coming out great and will try something new as well. Not sure what yet.
Will not use the fan in the drying stage, and also will remove one at 30% weight loss to see if the outside is softer.
Eventually I'll get there...
