Weighed the hunks down. Now I just need to wait!

Thats a nice belly.

You use the regular brine or the lo salt brine?

I like the lo salt one.

I used a heavy cup in a 2 gallon batch farmer.

My first go, I have only done the dry cure previously. Would that be considered lo salt? Or is there another recipe I missed? Thanks.

Thanks farmer. Looks like I used a combo, lol.

 

[pc farmer]

Yup, thats what I thought too. Lol.

As long say you dont change the cure amount, your good.

All good on the cure. I will try the lo salt one with the belly I have in the freezer! About the same salt, but a lot less sugar. Thanks for the info!

Bacon turned out great. Not too salty at all.
