Grind lean meat into 3/8” (8 mm) particles. Cut partially frozen back fat into 1/4 (6 mm) cubes. Dissolve starter culture in 1 tablespoon de-chlorinated water. Mix ground meats with salt and cure #2 until sticky. Add spices, culture, halved walnuts, chopped fat and mix again. Stuff firmly into 60 mm pork bungs forming sections 20-30 cm (8-12") long. Ferment at 20° C (68° F) for 72 hours, 90-85% humidity. Dry at 16 → 12° C (60-54° F), 85 → 80% humidity for 30 days. The sausage is dried until around 30% in weight is lost. Store sausages at 10-15° C (50-59° F), <75% humidity.
