Running a 5% brine. 1 cup kosher, 1/4 cup pink salt (curing salt- not Himalayan), 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup dark brown, 1/4 cup honey, 2tbsp pickling spice, 1 tbsp corriander seeds, 1tbsp yellow mustard seeds 6 quarts of water. Boiled the stuff in 3 quarts and added ice at the end to bring it up to the 6 total. Going to soak it a day short and only do 4 days instead of 5. I'll rinse and see how it goes.
