I found this recipe on the net.It was very close to the one I used for years from a book by Wilbur F. Eastman Jr.,just a few extra things added.The book says to cure for 2weeks,turning meat every 2nd day.I didn't think the taste was quite there.So I followed this new recipe and forked the meat real good all over,leaving it in the brine for 3 weeks.Boys she's got the flavor through her now!I made corned beef and Cabbage.The wife(pickiest eater I know)loves it Too.

I've never made my own corned beef. I'm Montana Irish so I'm going to try this year. There might be alchohol involved. This might be a good start.
Always alcohol!!!!! ;)Nice thing about corned beef,goes great with any alcohol.
