# Baumy Biltong - Noble Nonsense

## Equipment

30 7cm steel hooks 13g - 29,97 €

## First batch

1.7kg

### First measure of spices

- 18g salt
- 2g black pepper
- 4g coriander
- 2 Star anise

### Second measure of spices

- 9g salt
- 1g black pepper
- 2g coriander
- 2 Star anise

### Total spices

- 27g salt
- 3g black pepper
- 6g coriander

## Second batch

5.98kg - Irish Silver side 168,36 €

### Wash ingredients

- 60 g worchestershire sauce
- 21g red wine vinegar
- 17g apple cider
- 20g condimento blanco
- 16g black malt vinegar
- 7g guiseppi 5 star

**Note:**

- Worcestershire sauce is 10% vinegar
- Need 20% more wash next time

### Calculated spices for second batch

- 75.8g salt (reduced by 20%)
- 10.5g black pepper
- 21.1g coriander
- 7 Star anise

**Calculation:**
First batch weight: 1.7kg
Second batch weight: 5.98kg
Scaling factor: 5.98 / 1.7 = 3.52

- Salt: (27g _ 3.52) _ 0.8 = 75.8g (20% reduction applied)
- Black pepper: (3g _ 3.52) _ 1.2 = 12.6g (20% increase applied)
- Coriander: 6g \* 3.52 = 21.1g
- Star anise: 2 \* 3.52 ≈ 7 (rounded to nearest whole star)
- 10-15g dried chili flakes (or 2-3 whole dried chilis, crushed)
