## Overview

The Sausage Maker Bactoferm F-RM-52 is a premium freeze-dried starter culture combining Lactobacillus sakei and Staphylococcus carnosus. It accelerates lactic acid buildup to deliver a distinct sour flavor in medium-diameter dry sausages, achieving pH drops below 5.0 in as little as four days at 90°F. Packaged in 25g doses for 100kg meat batches, it requires freezer storage below 2°F and is ideal for professional and artisanal sausage fermentation within North America.

## Description

PLEASE NOTE: Due to freezer storage requirements, this product cannot be shipped outside North America. This product is intended only for use with meat products and is not intended to treat, cure or prevent disease. Many types of medium-diameter salamis and other dry, fermented sausages, especially those traditionally made in northern Europe, call for a distinct, somewhat sour flavor. This robust flavor is caused by a boost in lactic acid, a reaction that occurs when certain types of bacteria are introduced to the sausage during fermentation. This freeze-dried culture blends Bactoferm lactobacillus and staphylococcus bacteria for medium to fast acidification and food fermentation. Bactoferm F-RM-52 starter culture causes the meat's pH to drop to under 5.0 in about four days or under 5.4 in two days in a 90°F environment. This is a fast culture containing Lactobacillus sakei and Staphylococcus carnosus strains, targeted for fermentation temperatures of 70-90°F. Net weight: 25g (per packet) Usage: 25g for 100kg (220lbs) Instructions for making 10lb. increments included Storage: freezer (<2°F) For Food Making Use Only. Not Intended for Medicinal Purposes.

Review: Perfect - Always perfect
Review: Viable is lo I se and granular - Let's make some sausage. As indicated keep frozen. If it's loose and granular it's still very active even after the expiration date, I've had some in my freezer for over year and all good. DO NOT USE if it's clumpy. As always measure correctly and make sure to mix into the meat throughly 1-2 minutes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the instructions for making 10lb increments?**
A: The package says for every 10lbs of meat use 1/2 tsp of bactoferm.

**Q: Is this what you put on the outside of the casing to promote good bacteria?**
A: No it is not- this is to produce lactic acid in fermentation and is mixed in the meat.

**Q: Do you apply this outside the casing after 2 days?**
A: No

**Q: When i got the package, the powder was clumped together. Is it alive still? should I use it or toss it?**
A: I've never received crumble product, mine was always powder. 
But when I leave it in the freezer for a while it will get a little crumble but it works just fine.
