Title: Biltong 2
Post by: FLBentRider on August 22, 2009, 10:57:25 AM
I picked up an (American) London broil.

Hacked it to pieces and mixed up some of the biltong rub/brine.

It's "getting happy" in the fridge now.

Tomorrow it goes in the 80L @ 95 for what ? three days ?

Am I to assume that the acid in the vinegar is the agent that keeps the nasties away while it is drying ?

Hey FLB

The angle sticks that came with your 80L, just drill some holes in em for hanging the biltong from like i did for the bacon jerky.

It's in the 80L.

I left it in the fridge an extra day, took the kids to an indoor fun fair and kinda forgot about it.
