I don’t have a problem with the meat staying submerged. But I’ll add water weight next time I find 2 briskets that I like the shape enough to go through the process
Pretty much everything I stated is what I used plus all spice. And yes I’m using cure number 1 sorry that wasn’t really mentioned. The briskets are pretty tight tight in a container and just enough water to cover them. I’m guessing 3.5-4 gallons. Pic from few months ago
Well I did a couple of cups on salt and couple cups of brown sugar. I’ll back the brown sugar off so it’s not so gooey next time. Little over 1 gram per pound of meat. I did boil it so it dissolves the salt and sugar better
First one I did was beat red all the way through. The last 6 of so don’t get full pen and this one was way off. Was some over big briskets. 22.5 and 25 pounders. Came out great but want the look of all red. Doing touch over 1 gram per pound of meat and brined 14 days on this one then a full day...

Here is the monster eye sliced into 1/4” slabs, the bottom 4 cuts are like the normal size of a eye of round , was about 1/8” shy of being 7” wide, extremely lean to without much of a tendon running through so a sweet find!!
Found a 12.2 pounder today and had to have it. Just trimmed it and it came out to right at 10 pounds after trim and that equals 5.4 bucks a pound. I can get them with fat taken off already for 5.26 a pound but they are usually 6 pounds or so. Paid 4.42 a pound for this today I think. Here’s the...
