    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. John

    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. John
