This is fucking awesome. I've recently built my own curing chamber and modified a humidifier so it didn't need a button press ;), and am taking delivery of some jowls on the weekend and have been getting all the software infrastructure set up for the monitoring of it's temp/humidity (grafana, prometheus, alerting, etc).
Given that my grandfather used to cure his own in a cabinet in his root cellar with NO automation it feels a little overkilly but I'm glad to see someone else is overkilling at an even more extreme level than me and is making their work public.
- valzevul 1y agoRoot cellars are far more stable than a ground-floor garage in my case: steady temperature throughout the year, low airflow. Some wooden cabinets are also superior to modern chambers, i.e cedar acts like a humidity buffer, which is why miso makers still swear by cedar koji boxes. Good luck with the jowls!
- sleepybrett 1y agoTo call it a wooden cabinet might be a wee bit generous. Actually a broken wardrobe he probably found on the side of the road with broken hinges on one of the doors so he nailed it shut. :lol:
