I am going to brine my own brisket and wanted to know if anyone else has done it?
Should I buy saltpeter(sodium nitrate)? All it really does is keep the meat pink. Any additions to pickling spice?

I'm going to keep the fat cap and roast the brined meat, not a fan of the boil process. Especially for the leftovers.

We do our corned beef/cabbage in teh pressure cooker. Never felt a particular reason to change. Always just get one from the store, though I'll be very curious how yours turns out. Keep us informed. Fvck, now I can't wait for St. Patties. :drool:
