Mine sharted out a few months ago, battery corroded up. I picked one up at a grocery store of all places. A bit more than Amazon, but I wanted it RIGHT NOW

Don't you just love that , when it happens.

I am in for your run on Pastrami.

I am down to 7 more days in the fridge for my Porkstrami, in the brine to corn the 3 pork loins.
Then turn into strami.

This is the second batch ( of 3 ) as the first batch was wasted when the fridge pooped the bucket last month.
So with the new fridge , I seem to be checking a few times a day. Should not have to do that , but now
i just don't know . LOL old and anal.

Sorry that happened to you David… I’ve been there unfortunately! I too was checking a few times a day after we lost everything…. Elk, beef, you name it… it was in there!

So, I got a few temp monitors and that put me at ease… knowing now if the temp drops past my set point… Nicole and I will get an alert on our phones. You may look into one of those!

Thanks Justin
Had the 2 temp senders in the fridge and the monitor on the outside of door. It is in a room that I am in for hours every night, reading or watching tv, etc.
And because of that, never set the alerts. ( look up Donkey hind end in dictionary and see my picture )

They are now in the 2nd new fridge

1 tsp per 5 pounds . Been doing it for years .

Rich is it 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon ?

I have been using 1 Tablespoon per gal for 5-7 pounds of meat to be brined .
Or is this just a preference for what you like.

David

EDIT : I reread this maybe Justin was doing a dry brine and this is what you were answering to. Sorry if I did not read right. David

 

[chopsaw]

Justin was doing a dry brine and this is what you were answering to.

Yes , that's a dry amount .

 

[Rafter H BBQ]

My apologies all… ended up with some sort of stomach flu… Anything food wise… I could just not handle!

Feeling better now… Gonna start the Strami tomorrow!

 

[Rafter H BBQ]

And yes, doing a dry brine!
