Bacon equalization temp after dry cure...

I use a small 10CFM fan in the fridge to keep air circulating. It helps things dry thing out a little quicker.

Good tip. I have a very small fan so I will run it in the refer while equalizing....

So just to be clear....you do not put your bacon in a bag while curing...you allow the moisture to drain off the meat onto a pan.

When curing 4 slabs at once, I've never seen more than 2-3 TBS. of liquid run out of the bellies..
Yes I cure on wire racks, NO bags... I want the meat to lose moisture and intensify the pig flavor....
