I have one for #1 too. It would be nice if someone had a conversion chart for the different cures. Pops brine cure recipe calls for 1 TBS of #1, & the directions on the #1 package call for 5 TBS of #1 to 1 gallon of water. So I'm guessing you would need more TQ than you were thinking. PM Eric (forluvofsmoke) he uses TQ & I think he has a brine recipe.
I have always used Instacure #1 and followed a trusted recipe. Reading my bag of Tender Quick, it says 1 Cup Tender Quick per 4 cups of water. Their instructions seem to be for smaller cuts, however. I would check with Bearcarver if I were you. He uses a lot of Tender Quick, but I have not seen him use it in a brine. Please proceed with caution.
