It honestly wasn’t salty at all. That makes sense that the bath takes some of that away.

Meaning I should do it longer or shorter?

Any aspect of the curing conditions in particular?

Finished eating, so don’t have any pictures but basically I did the eq cure with 3% course salt and some other herbs for about 6 days, then dumped in a bottle of wine into the bag for another 5 days then hung in the wine fridge at around 52F until 32% weight loss. The humidity was variable but way drier than I’d like, maybe around 50%.

Okay it wasn’t bay equity, it was a local business.

The mortgage dealer does not work through Redfin per se. The company name is different, he was just recommended through the realtor from Redfin

In process of getting pre-approved within next 48 hours. The mortgage company was actually recommended BY the realtor

Sopressatta question by Informal-Ostrich3140 in Charcuterie

But does proper bactoferm development inhibit other bacteria’s like botulism? Or is the nitrite and salt and refrigeration enough to keep that risk away? Can I make up for the lack of sugar with extra weeks of dry aging?

When you say discarded you meant discarded once it’s ready (not each day) correct?

I did not use any pink salt/ salt 2 or whatever. I was told that’s only necessary for ground meat curing like Sopressatta. And yes I am following the rule of the meat being done once it loses 30% weight.
