    Thanks all. Couldn’t have done all this without this community. So much knowledge here.

    Final taste is wonderful. I backed off the salt percentage by . 25% from the last run. Think I hit my sweet spot.

    All sliced and packaged.

                I’ve started to read maybe a quarter or a third of this thread.
                I’ve done over 55 pounds of Duroc pork bellies starting in January of this year in a wet (not injected ) cure and I’ve not had a single bad comment, on the contrary quite the opposite.
                I now have 2 whole Berkshires bellies and 1 and a half Duroc pork bellies in a brine now.

                I always wanted to do a dry bring bacon, BUT AFTER READING THIS early on for a bit, I think I’ll stick to my tried and true !

                Denny O Nothing wrong with staying with what works and you like. I have not made bacon yet but is on my to do list and I read a lot of posts that have trouble with the salt content.

                    Using the Digging Dog farm calculator. It’s default setting for salt is 2%. Prior batch I used 1.75%. Went down to 1.5% on this one. About perfect for me.

                            I’m going to be doing another round of Berkshire hog bacon coming up in the next week or so. A friend has another hog that he told me he was butchering and wished I’d make him some bacon like last time. Well, why not!
                            Jonathon How may I add Waltons seasonings to aid the flavors in my bacon? Please PM me or another way if you please, tia.
