Biltong Box - Fan and Light power diagram

On request please find a diagram which illustrates the power configuration for the fan and light combination.

An AC power splitter and LED light transformer can normally be sourced form a local hardware store.  The PC fan normally only needs a 1 AMP 12V power source.

If your FAN spins the wrong way, simply change the wires around on the 12v side of the transformer.

Biltong Spice Preparation - How to Make Biltong Spice

Here is a recipe for Biltong Spice, this one is quite strong on the Chilli and Garlic front and could probably do with a little more salt than used. As I always say, rather less than have a salty batch you can't eat!

Do test batches of Biltong as you go and enhance the flavours by relatively small tweaks (or large if it was extreme) based on the last Biltong batch.

 Here are the ingredients:
 - 200g Coriander Seed
- 130g Garlic Flakes
- 120g Dried Chilli
- 50g Coarse Salt (remember fine salt is more salty!! so be careful just substituting this - not recommended!!)

Grind up the Coriander Seed (I use a blender) 

The mixed Biltong Spice

The final product (well in progress)

Movember and New Homemade Biltong Spice

Hi

Been playing around with some Biltong spices, courtesy of a mate in South Africa (who was donated my Biltong box before I moved to the UK). The spice mix isn't quite perfect and been playing with various combinations of the following:

- Coriander seeds (300g blitzed in a blender but quite rough, don't destroy the seeds)
- 2 x Spice bottles of Garlic Flakes (the normal spice bottles you but at the store)
- Course Salt
- Dried Chilli, about 100g
- Optional: Throw in some Safari Crowne National Spice Mix for additional flavour

On a separate note, been doing Movember....for those unsure take a look at my dodgy 'tash for the month of Movember. http://mobro.co/ClintonThomson.

Donations to this worthy cause are welcomed, they all go direct to the charities laid out on the web page.

Chilli Biltong Spicing

Been a while since my last post. I have been experimenting with Chilli Biltong mostly and trying to get the flavour right. The spice I use is below, you can get it at most Asian style shops.  This is the extra hot version but you can start with a milder version or reduce the amount used.  I use about two table spoons to about 2 kilo's of meat (pretty hot!), its mixed in with about 100g of Crowne National Biltong Spice that I usually buy in. Use about a table spoon of this chilli spice for something more mid-ranged on the heat.

Haven't quite taken on the challenge of making spices, too much effort if you can get your hands on Crowne National Biltong spices.

Here is a UK link for those in the EU who want to buy chilli spices online.  Its a much cheaper option than buying chilli flakes at your local supermarket especially if you like a decent amount of chilli on your chilli Biltong.
