    Pops6927's Wet Curing Brine

    So after pulling hams at 2.5 weeks and bacon at 2. Cold smoking for 16 hours. The Hams were the best! The bacon needed to soak a day in water to get the saltines reduced to my liking. But everything turned out great! I forgot to get a Bacon pic

    I bet I have about 75lbs of meat between three buckets. Thus the reasoning for Pops brine. Tried to keep it simple. Thanks

    I have made about 6 bellies with dry cure recipes and have been successful with them. Im no expert for sure, but I know what too salty is. They werent innedible, just gave you a pucker and thirst for water. Haha

    Since I injected and used the higher amount of salt, i just might remove at 2-3 weeks

    I see. I still used 1 cup reg suger and half cup brown with 1 cup salt. I think reducing the salt next time should suffice. Opinions on removing hams after 2 weeks?

    Just checked mortans , the pickling salt is a 1/1 ratio to table salt. Now im more confused as to why its too salty.

    I just tried pops brine with ham bacon and loin for the first time two weeks ago. The changes I made was reduced the brown suger by half, only because I didn’t have more and used 1 cup mortons pickling salt (reg salt just different grain structures; it disolves easily). Pulled them out after 2...
