This was my first attempt at homemade corned beef. I brined for eight days and cooked for about 5.5 hours. It turned out really good for my first attempt.

I do not think I would change anything. I thought it might be to salty but it was not. I have only eaten corned beef a few times in the last year. I ran a meat market for 20 plus years and sold a lot of prepackaged corned beef but never tried any till last year. It turns out that me and my wife really like it . I smoked a prepackaged corned beef last year(pastrami) but just plain old corned beef is easier and there is no fire to tend.

Here is the brine recipe I used. I brined it for 8 days and the cooked it in a big roaster at 325° for about 5 hours or till it gets to 205° internal temp. I cut the brisket into smaller pieces and used 2 brine containers , so I had to double this set up.
1 gallon Water
1 cup kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
3.5 tbls pickling spice (McCormick`s)
1 tbls pepper corns
5 tsp curing salt (Fiesta)
8 bay leaves
1 tbls garlic powder
