I made summer sausage for the first time yesterday...10lbs. It’s also my first go at any kind of fermented meat. I used f-lc I’ve been letting it ferment with the intention of smoking it today. I was just reading the recipe again and I think I used too much f-lc. The pack I got was 25g which is supposed to make 100kg of sausage...about 220 lbs. I got mixed up somehow and used about 10g in my 10lbs batch.
Just wondering what I might expect from this. I read a site that said use 1/4 pack (about 6 g) in any batch less than 50lbs so I still almost doubled what I probably should have used...at best.
