Sucuk weightloss and appearance questions

[Bob]

quote Aidan1986″ post=9841:

G’day all,

1. Once in the fridge to cure for 3-4 weeks, what is the target weightloss?

35 -40%

2. The appearance of my sucuk qas rather pale when being stuffed into the casings. Is this a bad sign or can it be narrowed down to aspects such as the cut of meat/ fat ratio or minor differences in ingredients?

Probably the meat, should not be a problem, Pics always help.

3. Lastly, I used accidently 3grams of instacure instead of 2.5g. I also may have been slightly off on the 1/8 tsp for the bactoferm, will this be a major issue or a wait and see approach?

Not a problem on either , I would strongly suggest using a minimum of 1 gram culture to ensure a viable amount.

Huge difference in taste not using cayenne, will be bland

Thanks!
