Well
@OldGardener, we slaughtered a steer two weeks ago and I tried the wet rendering method and just made a bad mess! The fat floated in the water and I had a really hard time separating out the "junk" from the fat. I just couldn't get a huge pure product without doing a lot of poking and picking. It just didn't work out for me so I went back to my old method and all is back to normal.
I think I'm going to stick with my usual rendering style. It works for me and produces beautiful tallow. Does this mean I'm set in my ways?
