Man, the replies in this thread represent most of the stock I am making now
I have never seen myself a small business owner, but since I know how ridiculously good this stuff I accidentally created is, I can already see this is going to be big.
The Jerky recipe I have developed is so good that I took a huge strip of the meat after I brined it for 4 days and fried it up like I would a steak. It was freaking awesome, I was really surprised, the taste was the kind of thing you just chewed and chewed, not wanting the depth of flavor to end. This is the same brined meat that I then further cure and then dry in a 3 step process to become jerky. Then it sits and ages for another couple of weeks once the entire batch is finished.
You guys that have tasted this jerky, would you mind describing your experiences with it? I would really appreciate it.
Also, I want to ask you guys now how interested you are in HOT jerky. I have already perfected mild and medium hot recipes, but I'd like to know how much interest there might be in really hot stuff. I know where to buy pure capsaisin extract- this stuff is the kind they use in hot chili contests where people compete to see how hot they can take it. In other words scary hot.
But for this batch it's the original super-steaky recipe, which is good for everyone, kids, wives, older people and all.
