@WildBill - thank you for the rep pts and challenging me to do the fresh frozen I had a good chuckle at Tic Tac Temple too one of life’s happy little accidents LOL!
This was the major advantage I saw, I’ve read fresh frozen trades off improved quality for less yield and that’s but the same processing time, and not waiting 2-3 months for material to dry and cure is a huge plus for fresh frozenI like fresh froze simply for less plant material getting into the end product with the same time of processing.
