Need help brine curing multiple hams at once……

[gator56]

Could some one point me in the direction of a step by process for bringing 15-20 hams at once. I have only done one ham at a time for my personally use.

We are considering opening a meat market where will also smoke our own hams, bacon and sausage, etc.

I need to see the process at scale so we have an idea of the space we need.

TIA
