Corned beef

[detter22]

I had to switch containers and I need to make more cover brine can I do 1 lb of corned beef twin pack to 1 more gallon of water? This will be in a brine for 10-14 days.

Or do I need to make the same cover brine with cure?

detter22 I would think that you need to keep your ratios the same for the brine to be effective. Another words, just adding water may not cut it. Having said that, I have experimented with wine in the brine & things like that which turned out real well, using my imagination. I have not tried anything experimental on corned beef though & to me, that is a distinct flavor. I have used my imagination on turkey, wild game, pork Like butts or bacon), etc.

detter22 Is this just the cover brine? if you injected it and are just covering it then so just go with the 50% strength https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/2173/how-to-make-smoked-corned-beef?_=1602977676591

Jonathon this was a brine 10-14 days no injection so I made another batch and then had enough cure,seasonings, and water. Which I probably should of just done the first time.

detter22 OKay, not sure if I misunderstood this, sorry, I am in KC with my sister and mother and we’ve had a few! So, if you need to toss the old cure yes, 1 lb to 1 gallon will finish you out to thwe 14 days.

detter22 I used to raise rabbits too, for years. Until my mother, who lived with us at the time before her death (over 20 years ago) & my wife started going down & giving them names. That was a lot of rabbits to name. Then I just started raising them for the 4H kids, etc. Then some stray dogs got into the hutches (Barn, not actual hutch) created havoc & I really went down hill then. Did not get them dogs either.
There used to be a guy around here that made rabbit sausage & I bought some from him every now & then. It was very good & we liked it. I think you are on the right track. I just cannot give you a real answer on the right spices, etc. I would check with Jonathan or Austin.

calldoctoday Maybe I am blind but I am not seeing detter22 asking for Rabbit sausage spices? Maybe it was on another post? I know this is so over used but people say rabbit does taste slightly of chicken just a little more intense and earthy (whatever that means) so I would say really anything is going to work well with it for Sausage. Hatch Green Chili springs instantly to mind as does Supreme Pizza and Apple Brat but now I am just naming my favorite bratwurst seasonings!
