Game larder

[Fidgety 8]

Couple of questions....

 

What does a "Larder ready" roe weigh?

 

What temperature should it be stored at?

 

How long should it be hung before butchering?

 

Thanks stalkers!

got an old "coke cola" fridge double door job alot o guys use them...with a rack we fabbed up in the top will take 3 roe

 

 

larder ready weight??? depends on the beast!!! legs n head removed and jacket off

 

we let them cool to ambient temperature then skin em and put them in the chiller for approx 5 days to a week sometimes bit longer if

im too bloody busy!!!

 

put a thermometer in there and it usually hovering between 3 to 6 degrees celsuis usually 5 degree mark

(cant remember guideline temp from doing me DSC! doh!!)

 

when you butcher the beast cut into the meat and you can see the red wine colour its just fantastic quality stuff ( you cant wait to cook it)

 

and bout a s bloody organic as you can get!!!!

 

coke fridge.....best quid i spent i tell ya.!!!

Thanks Sauer,

 

I will be using an upright fridge (tall one) stripped of all it's domestic clutter ..... roe should fit in there fine. Bit of mesh over the drain hole to stop the flies, and Bob's your uncle.

 

Will also be used for chilling beer!

 

Thanks for your advice!

keep your eyes open for one of these chilled coke\drink cabinets!!!

you get smaller single door jobs as well as the double door jobs

and using existing holes for the shelving to fab up a hanging rack is a doddle!!!

 

they are the dogs danglies and worth it....always someone selling

 

v-max on here , my brother got ours off of this site a while back from a guy down south

it was 70 quid for a double!!! and bout 30 quid delivery i think but it was on a pallet shrink wrapped

with mdf panels protecting it!!!!!!!

 

guy was a total gent and its has been worth every penny!!!!!

 

holds shit load o beer too when ive only got 1 roe in it too
