    apple juice in cure for bacon

    Take some glasses and line up your favorite acid liquids and pour a little in each glass. Then get your cure #1 and sprinkle a finger pinch into each glass watching for fizz or bubbles. If it’s does then your seeing the nitrite burn off or convert to nitric oxide. Some will be instant and some...

    apple juice in cure for bacon

    Yes, typically has a PH of 3.5-4.0 about the same as Worcestershire sauce. Best advice is never mix juices or fruits with nitrites

    apple juice in cure for bacon

    Welcome to the forum. The juice will burn up the cure before it has a chance to do its job. You cannot mix cure #1 with anything acid like juice.

    What went wrong?

    MES as factory notoriously do not track well with set temps. You need to test that with a remote probe first. Next if it were me, I would smoke for 4-5 hours then have oven preheated to 250-275 and wrap the brisket and into the oven to finish. Cook until probe tender which will likely be 3-5...

    2025 NFL Season Thread

    I like to be optimistic buttttt, Stidham hasn’t taken a snap this year. Now they have to fast track him into the starting lineup, and no pressure but, go play the AFC Championship game.

    Saving Pop's brine

    Well the man himself said you can either mix 1 gallon or 1/2 gallon as needed. Here is a thread from pops. Look at post #22 https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/pops6927s-wet-curing-brine.110799/page-2 In another thread he addressed the use of part of a gallon of brine. Question #3 from...

    Saving Pop's brine

    Brines don’t work the way you may think. When you mix up a gallon of brine it will contain a certain PPM nitrite and a certain percentage of salt based on water weight. When you pour half of that brine out each half retains the same PPM nitrite and percentage of salt. Sure you poured out half of...

    Home Help. Is this weight bearing?

    If I understand the bottom picture, the floor joist are running parallel to the the door framing, which means the door frame is not bearing, but not sure if I’m seeing it right.

    Snack sticks on racks

    Yup this. The sticks will be perfectly fine but that little bit of meat ooze will get dry that squeezes out. Not a huge problem though. Just cool as usual then trim.

    Pastrami help

    Don’t be nervous. It all works. Salt is all over the board in terms of cup measurement. Kosher is way different than say pickling salt (granulated) but you can cut it to 1/2 cup. Any meat over 3” thick needs injection otherwise just roll with the process it works fine. Personally I dry cure...
