Hi Dave me again please don't come out shooting
In the injection the brine works out to 3% salt and nitrite
.454 X .068 = .03
My question is should the brine solution be closer to 3% ?
Thanks John
After smoking the mozzarella, cheddar, monterey jack, asiago and edam I put the cheese in the fridge overnight and then vacuum sealed the next morning. I smoked it for 5 hours with a hard wood blend of dust with some added maple. It is pretty pungent at this point we will see what it is like in...
Thank you for your insight Dave. So I assume the above calculation should be used for the submersion method of curing peameal bacon. I will have to read your second post again and may try injection method in the future.

Hi Dave I have attached the usage \ factsheet and have emailed the company regarding directions for desalting the meat. It seemed like a lot of salt to me as well.

Thanks for your calculation Dave. I did the calculation as per package instructions.
4kg readycure 6kg salt to 100 liters of water for brine.
2kg readycure to 100KG for dry cureing.

FYI, I messed up on my cure calculation I calculated for dry cured instead of a brine that takes into account the weight if the fluid.I have revised my recipe to reflect the proper cure and salt. I have added to my batch and will leave it to cure a couple of days longer.
