As you've probably already noted, the problem with this system for the amateur curer is the difficulty/expense in monitoring the brine. What surprises me is the salt concentration as the Wiltshire process was developed by the Harris family in Calne to produce a less salty bacon by using ice to cool the curing rooms.
