    Maverick ET-73 readout question

    Did I kill Pop's Brine?

    I mixed up a batch of Pop's brine for some CB and since I have an "open" spring for my water source I brought the brine to a boil then chilled it in ice water.  Loin stayed in the brine for two weeks.  I tried a slice last night to test for salt, and besides being a little too salty the texture...
