Ever made corned beef?

[Nefarious]

Having had the most excellent Corned Beef Hash at Mr.Tom's Chop House in Manchester, I'm now going attempt to make my own version - starting with making the corned beef!

I think the basic plan is to make up a seasoned brine (water, salt, sugar, bay, cloves), and put in in a big sandwich bag with some cheap cut of beef, sqeeze all the air out and leave it in the frisge for a week, then boil it up in fresh brine til it's ready to flake.

Any tips, warnings or suggestions before I take the plunge?

Well spotted Prand. Cheers
