Pork Picnic Brine

[muscleoverimport69]

I have found recipes for brines but none of them really have the amount of ingredients compared to the size of the meat. Any suggestions?

This can be a tough one to answer, it really varies by how much flavor you want to add to the meat, and how much liquid you're using. I can't give you straight answer, maybe someone else can help you better.

What you trying to do? Cure a ham or brine a shoulder?

No need to brine a shoulder, IMHO. Smoke it low and slow, and make a mop sauce.
