Corn beef

[eman]

I want to make corn beef leading to pastrami.

 I need to know  how much TQ to use to make a liquid cure for 3 lbs of  eye of round?

 I have seen measurments  from 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp to 1 oz per gallon of water???

I have a recipe for pastrami that uses Cure 1 if that will help

I have one for #1 too. It would be nice if someone had a conversion chart for the different cures. Pops brine cure recipe calls for 1 TBS of #1, & the directions on the #1 package call for 5 TBS of #1 to 1 gallon of water. So I'm guessing you would need more TQ than you were thinking. PM Eric (forluvofsmoke) he uses TQ & I think he has a brine recipe.

I have always used Instacure #1 and followed a trusted recipe.  Reading my bag of Tender Quick, it says 1 Cup Tender Quick per 4 cups of water.  Their instructions seem to be for smaller cuts, however.  I would check with Bearcarver if I were you.  He uses a lot of Tender Quick, but I have not seen him use it in a brine.  Please proceed with caution.

Good luck and good smoking.
