I've seen the video of the guy curing double digit pounds in 5gal buckets stacked along a wall and Ive seen people over engineer their mason jars to scale the process down.
I like the ease of stacking a few buckets in the closet but I dont harvest enough out of my garden to really warrant the need to handle 50 pounds at a time.
There's also facy looking options like the curecork that carry a steep price tag for what seems like a fairly straightforward and simple design.
My question here is: Could I set up a 5 or 7 gal bucket with all the valves to cycle air through the bucket, tie the pump to a rh probe, and then stack open jars on a rack in the bucket? Are there any drawbacks or potential negative outcomes that I am overlooking?
The idea would be to simplify and standardize the start of the curing process by using the buckets as a more controllable environment than just a closet or spare bedroom; while staying fairly low tech and easy on the wallet.
