    Cure time in fridge

    he was making pastrami, and brining and curing for 6 weeks, 42 days. I thought that was to long for cure #1. I remember pops said 40 days was max and a few people mentioned 30 days. But I thought about when they dry age for 60-90 days with no cure, so why a limit on cure #1 and if that's the...

    Stpp

WithTwo hams I was able to squeeze into vac bags but the third was to big so I put in a 2.5 gallon bag but after 3 days or so a bone poked a hole in it so had to rebag, lost a little brine but no big deal. When my food saver dies the next one will be a...

    Stpp

    Ok, my question is can I just take enough of pops brine (10%) for each ham add stpp to that and put that into unaltered pops brine to keep submerged. They will be laying on one another and I worry it will force some out. I just figured that they would be so close in ingredients that most of the...
