OK here is the brine I used for a 3LB loin.
1 gallon water
3/4 cup salt
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
6 teaspoons cure #1
20% pump
soaked in brine 7 days
Is my cure rate safe, seems like a lot to me.
I have noticed that after removing my sausage from the ice bath, sometimes the water has a brown tinge to it and sometimes it has a black tinge. Same wood, same smoke time and same sausage. Doesn't seem to make a difference in the flavour.
Any ideas?
