Yep. But, ya gotta watch for the mold and black mushy main stems....both are no bueno.

I built a curing chamber on Friday and Saturday morning. I have been having a difficult time keeping the humidity up in the garage where I'm color curing so I figured if I could make an environment that would stay about 90-95 F and 70 -80% rh I could use it to complete the color cure. So far I've been able to maintain pretty close to those parameters but I'm still fiddling with the fine adjustments. I've transferred all of the harvest previous to 21 August to the chamber. The 21 and 29 August harvests are still doing well in the hanging area so I'm in no hurry to move them.

Once they have completed the color change, I'll remove them and allow them to dry crunchy including the mid-rib (stem). Once that's finished, I'll up the temp in the chamber to 125 or so and start fermenting them.

The Long red leaf that I have been bag sweating is looking pretty darn nice, and smelling pretty good too. I may just get to smoke some of this soon.
