Preservation and curing instructions for aged meat
When brine is used, pack fresh cuts in a barrel or crack and cover with brine. Use roiling water that has cooled to prepare the brine and keep the meat submerged, occasionally shifting top cuts to bottom. After curing, wash in warm water and soak in cool water for an hour, then drain for 24 hours. Smoke with green hardwood for about 86 hours, hang 6 to 8 feet from fire, wrap in grease resistant paper, store in a dark cool dry place.
