Hello Uxbal313 You have some very interesting posts keep them coming. Don't get to excited about being treated as if you don't know anything; they do that to everyone. Most are well meaning but respond only to what you have questioned and not knowing your background. If it weren't for the boys in gr...

Butterbean I'm not quite sure of your agenda, you seem to have a propensity for distorting the facts. I'm not interested in your views on Darwinism I simply asked a question about water activity in meats. You take portions of my comments and make up a question to your liking, which is a lie. I didn'...

Lou I have a small fan in my chamber just to move the air around a bit. There is some discussion out there about premature case harding if to much air movement is involved. Mine is not vented to the outside of the chamber. The air movement does not effect the temperature that I set, from what I can ...

Bob the probe that came with your meter isn't the meat probe they recommend and I understand the reason for not needing that probe. Can you tell me what the probe that came with your unit was designed to test, pH? I see Redzed uses a soil meter. How does this work in comparison to Bob's meter? Kind ...

Butterbean and Bob your responses along with my research pretty much answers all my questions and concerns. In curing meats, to make shelf stable or just plan safe, several goals much be achieved. I'm sure you are well aware of these. The problem is with beginners, such as me and others just startin...

AW, water activity
AW has been mentioned numerous times throughout the forum; can someone explain exactly how you would measure this activity? Lets say your making jerky and you want it safe but not overly dry or you have a whole meat muscle and you want to know the AW of the meat. Any information would be helpful. Tom

Milwaukee - MW102 - pH/Temperature Meter
I'm looking to purchased a reasonably priced pH meter shortly and have read several comments about a few on this site, Thermoworks, my-messgeraet, Lutron, Hanna etc. Some are just to pricey for my needs such as the Hanna. If found the Milwaukee MW102 on Amazon for $113.00. BobK appears to have purch...

redzed There are to many recipes to list but a good selection are on Mr Poli's site http://lpoli.50webs.com/. These recipes include either AmesPhos, phosphate, or sodium phosphate. Are these synonymous or are they distinctly different? Hence why I asked which to use. At this point I wouldn't know wh...
