Cure Conversion Chart

darren McLaren Well if you use 1 lb of meat in that calculator (451 grams) then you need 13.61 grams of seasoning/cure, for the dry rub it is 9 grams per lb of meat, that is a 50% difference and could ruin your product, I wouldn’t risk it if I were you. I have requested an LOP from Excalibur on the Dry Rub Bacon to see what the salt content is and we can take the low range they give us and then you can work out how much you would need to be at 3% of the weight of the meat but the LOP can change as they change ingredients so it won’t necessarily be the same 6 months from now.

Jonathon thanks for that it will be interesting. I Just go off the salt needed ignore the rest ie 1lb meat = 9 grams cure if you run it through the calculator in grams 451 grams it will advise you to add 7.96 grams of dry rub which is 1 gram off advised by excalibur. If you want adjust the calculator so it reads 9 grams per 451 grams of meat you can change the nitrates to 10 PPM to give you an exact readingHandy Universal Cure Calculator

kodda322 Chicago isn’t available on the web so we don’t have that broken down. However, it is .5 lb of spice to 10 gallons of water for a pickle. If you are using that I’d assume you are a commercial processor so I’d encourage you to reach out to our commercials ales team at 800-835-2832 Hope that helped!

<Have you ever bought some of Walton's seasoning, but didn't want to make a full 25 lb batch? Well, we have made things simpler now and you can quickly and easily measure out how much seasoning to use for smaller 1 lb or 5 lb batches. The best way to measure out seasonings-cures-additives is with a very accurate scale, if you do not have access to a scale that weighs in fractions of oz or in grams then you can use the volume measurements we have provided as a guideline.

johnsbrewhouse, Chef, That is amazing. You guys make me feel bad that I did not help more as I had developed some numbers some time ago, but only on about four of the brines, etc. that I have used & then then just went to a better scale & basic math. Super Kudos to both of you guys for going the extra mile & creating those sheets.

Chef Have you tried either converting them to a PDF (cute PDF or something) or doing the snip it thing that basically seems to convert to a photo file if the pdf will not work, then uploading just like a normal photo? If not, I am thinking either take a real good photo of it & upload that or see if Jonathon or someone at Walton’s can do it for you. Pardon me for not having something concrete that is tried & tested, but I am gathering that one of the ideas should work. I would start with the first & easiest.

Chef Gotcha! You really have it set up then.

Not sure if there is any interest in this, but I have a general purpose conversion spreadsheet that will let you calculate reduced batch seasoning amount for any seasoning.
You enter in the meat block weight and the net weight of the seasoning pack (for 25 lb batch) and it calculates the amount of seasoning and cure for you in ounces and grams. It is an Excel spreadsheet.
If you want to play around with it, send me your email via private chat and I can send you a copy.
