James, you're probably right. I'm not using the curing agent. The temp is OK for sure, so don't panic. But if you keep to the 2:1 ratio Salt to Sugar, and then add the curing salt on top of that, you wont have the softness of the meat, or the bad taste (meethinks)..

I'll post my thread of the bacon I just did too... Turned out just awesome!!!

The curing agent makes me feel safe. :)

Also ... it wasn't a bad taste. It was NO taste. Very strange. It's yummy now. Although, I'm sure not as good as yours which cured nicely.
