TEMPERATURE FOR BARRELED PORK. (Copyrighted; Reprint Forbidden.)
Reading edition
It is necessary that the greatest care should be exercised not to let the pork freeze while curing. Brine for barreled pork will not freeze at the freezing point of water, but the meat in the brine will freeze, and will not cure if the temperature is lower than the freezing point for any length of time. See instructions as to Temperature to be found on page 46.
