Title: Jerky Calculator
Post by: smokeitall on October 15, 2009, 07:07:34 AM
Made some jerky this weekend.  I had 3.2 lbs of meat.  Now for me one of the biggest problems is calculating all the spices when not having the whole amount of meat on a certain recipe, like Nepas jerky recipe that calls for 5lbs.  So I used the new JT recipe calculator.  Let me know what you think.

TYVM for finding this tool. It will come in handy for the veteran and new jerky makers.

I agree this is pretty good. Of course it goes without saying that there is no hard and fast rule. Sometimes I just start throwing stuff together and taste it to see what it needs. then I just write it down so the next time I know what to change or what I liked.

It all started when I made a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of cure for jerky... Then I said why not all the ingredients? So I added them to my spreadsheet. Then I wanted to have the recipe available no matter where I was cause sometimes I'd save it to my thumb drive sometimes to my wife's laptop sometimes... well you get the picture. So the one central place was my web pages which I was giving a complete overhaul at the time. Then I figured out how to calculate it on the web page with a small embedded javascript.

Enjoy
John
