Nice. What steps did you use for the dry cure?
The ghetto curing chamber, is that a garbage can?

I didn't have any Juniper, so I subbed gin instead. I here it works well.
The "chamber" is a Rubbermaid tote with a pan of salted water in the bottom. It is in the garage at 15*c. Hopefully the pan of water will raise the humidity in the tote enough for a good cure. We will see.

After one week of drying. Nice white mold growth.

Yeah, white mold is good, other colors not so much. You wash it off after it is done.

That's a different method that the dry cures I've seen. I think I posted the bresaola recipe here somewhere...
