Looks great! I use Pop's brine as well for Canadian Bacon - minus the sugar as we're all diabetic here.
We use the same ratios for bacon too.
1 gallon water
15g #1
175g kosher salt

If you want to try something interesting, you could tackle Peameal Bacon, which is what Canadian Bacon is in Canada. Learn more about Peameal - the best sandwich evar!

This version skips the sugar and we don't roll the loins in cornmeal.

Enjoy!!!!

Sugar Free Peameal Bacon
12lbs pork loin -- two whole Costco vacuum loins, trimmed down
1.5 gallons water
15 garlic cloves smashed
9 cloves
3 tbsp mustard seed
5g crushed pepper corn
3 bay leaves
25g Prague #1
225g kosher salt

7+ days in fridge

Looks awesome to me, I don’t use TQ, but have tried both the dry cure & wet brine with cure#1. Didn’t see much difference in flavor, but the wet brine is much easier if you have the space in the fridge. Now for belly Bacon or BBB I like the dry cure, cause the texture & crispness of the bacon seems better with the dry cure. Just MHO!
