I'm trying to get an understanding of the whole curing process. But I'm getting confused. I understand what color curing is. Turning green leaf brown. From there I get confused.
What's the difference between kilning and fermenting. And what is sweating? Also, I thought you color cured it and then put it in to a kiln or flue-cure it, but I'm reading of people putting yellow leaf into kilns.
I'm thinking of building a small kiln. I swore I wasn't going to do it but I guess I am.
I had a bunch more questions but can't think of them at the moment.
I know my questions have probably been answered already, but the more I search the more confused I get.
