I'm doing my first pork belly bacon run and used digging dog caculator for salt and curing salt.
Only other thing I added was brown sugar and all three were rubbed in before going into the bag and into in the fridge.
Aiming for 14 days and am about a week in.
The bag showed some liquid for two or three days (not much liquid mind you) but now when I flip it over I can't see or feel any liquid at all.
So is this normal or should I intervene berfore the brine time is up?
