Go to sausagemaker.com they have pre mixed spices for corned beef. You can buy enough to make 50lbs. cheap. Just follow directions. Very easy. Cure 1 day for every inch of thickness. I use this for corned venison. Most people that have tried this prefer it over beef. Less fat. I use a pressure cooker. Cook for 45 min. at 10 psi remove from heat add cabbage, potatos,carrots, onions and whatever else you want bring back to 10psi for 3 min cool and your done.
