Salumi and chorizo weight loss rate

There are a couple of ways to tell, short of employing testing equipment:
1. Squeeze the cold chubs and they should be pretty hard with little give, if they are then >>>
2. Cut one of them open and see if its dry all the way to the center, this will tell you if the drying is successful
3. Taste and see if it has a tangy taste, this tells you that you had good fermentation.
Most likely you will have some harder ring around the outer edges, but if the center looks solid then its done.
