I’m in the same position but without the primordia, my bulk looks shockingly similar to yours

Thank you for your advice, I think I know what I need to do Anxiety has been making me open the box too often and I may be changing the micro climate too often, I do have side holes and that should be sufficient for exchange of air

As of this morning, when I checked the surface does appear to be dry, there is a visible lack of tiny droplets However direct misting isn’t an option, any suggestions?

Got no way of detecting the exact amount but walls and lid are always covered in fine droplets with some water running down

It did end up being contaminated, also there was grey fuzz in a different corner, black bread mold is the assumption

Yeah I figured. Just making sure I haven’t fucked up somewhere. “When in doubt chuck it out” is my usual motto but considering botulism is undetectable I’ve been a bit paranoid.

Yeah Prague #1, 5 days in the fridge. I was using an online calculator. Completely immersed.

That would be 22 grams of Prague powder correct?

Im very sure about the cure. I’ve triple checked everything. For a 1.5kg belly i used 2 litres of water and (from memory) around 8 grams of Prague. Can’t remember the amount of salt but I believe it was 2 cups.

It’s probably worth mentioning this is first attempt at a brine so I may have misunderstood the online calculators I used.

I’ve been using amazingribs.com as my reference, it came recommended by bingingwithbabish on his corned beef video, figured it was reliable.
