    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

    Ok I just sliced and test fried a piece and didn't taste salty at all. It did taste a little hammy not like store bacon and it didn't get crisp. Now it was sliced as thin as I could with a butcher knife but still a little thick. But the hammy taste is what is throwing me off. Maybe I don't know...

    What about the cure #1 it's my understanding that you need a brine calculator to figure out how much PPM or is that ok just to divide also for the amount of meat to salt ratio?

    The recipe calls for a gallon of water and I didn't know how to figure out how to make it less.

    Making bacon from porkbelly I guess about a little over an inch.

    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

    So I followed the recipe but my question is how do I know when it's done? It's been in solutions for 7 days. Also it floats so I weighed it down with water in a ziplock bag.

    So much conflict with doing bacon makes me afraid to try it cause I might kill my family doing it. But I guess no here has died so I'm going to just do it

    Bag juice?

    After cooking a chuck roast sous vide the bag has a lot of juice in it. My question is is this juice the same as beef stock or can it be used as stock?

    Weber issue?

    So then its most likely just grease ans smoke just use a plastic scraper and scrape it off every so often.
