How to Make Corned Beef & Pastrami at Home, Part 1

First, let me apologize for the static popping in the audio, I know it's a problem and I'm working diligently to locate the cause for future videos. If you have any constructive ideas, please leave a comment.

This video is broken down into three parts, in Part 1, I show you how to go about making the curing brine for the meat. In Part 2, I show you how to trim and separate the brisket into the point and flat pieces. In Part 3 we bring the first two parts together and begin the actual brining of the meat.
