Accidentally used Prague #1 instead of #2..

I accidentally used Prague #1 in a batch of dry cure Soppressata.. is the batch ruined or will it be OK if no bad mold forms?

What is the diameter of the casing? Did you use a starter culture? Did you check the pH?

Personally I don't think I'd dry cure it, but I wouldn't throw it out either, I'd cook it and enjoy it like a deli cut salami.

^Good call if it's a large one.
If it's a smaller casing (say 1¼-1½"), chances are it should be OK.

Agree with you both. 
Large diameter, cure for 10 days then cook - cotto salami. Small diameter with good fermentation should dry OK.
