Ferment sausage in a bowl?

[bkshafer]

Is there any reason not to ferment sausage in a bowl instead of stuffed into casings?

I've an 'inkling' that this used to be the way things were often done. But, why would you want to? I can't see any advantage.

Easier to measure pH.

Very true.

FWIW, Maynard Davies bulk cures salami in his book "Manual of a Traditional Bacon Curer". He doesn't use a culture, but the process is similar.

Maybe try a smallish batch to see how it goes?
