Beef fat 1 1/4 lb

I cut the fat in and mixed by hand. Dont want to over work the fat. Do this with the meat as cold as you can stand.

Going with AC LEGG #114 SS mix. Has every thing i need in it already, TSP, Sodium Erythorbate, spices. I added 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1.5 tsp mustard seeds.

Have my 1 tsp cure 1 added to my water.

Added the AC/Cure with the 3/4 cup very cold distilled water. And started to mix in the meat. I'm going to cover this bowl and clean up.

Clean up with warm water, Then spray down with sanitizing solution of 1 tsp bleach to the spray bottle. Spray it all down. Blood not only being a Biohazard is also very corrosive. Wash you knifes, grinder items in cold water with soap OR if you have a dishwasher use the heavy cycle and the hot dry to finish the sanitation process.

MAKE SURE YOUR MEAT IS SAFELY PUT AWAY BEFORE YOU SANITIZE.
