Turkey Brining

[Old Boar]

I am doing several deep fried turkeys for the local Police and Fire Stations for Thanksgiving day. Research has found numerous variations on the Brine. Need expert opinion on the following:

Liquid: Water, Vegetable Broth, or combination of water and fruit juices.

Salt: 1 cup/gal., 1/2 cup/ gal., or 3/4 cup Kosher/gal.

Time: 6 hrs., 8 hrs., 12 hrs., or 18 hrs.

The other spices and herbs are no proglem, just the above variations were found in numerous receipes.

Thanks in Advance!!!!!!

here's an episode of my favorite cooking show - "Good Eats"
Alton Brown demonstrates how to deep fry a turkey -
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

brine ingredients are mentioned partway through Part 1

that Good Eats episode was great. One of the better ones (although they are all awesome!)

As for spices, I recommend a Latin seasoning called Adobo. Not sure about in GA, but down here in Tampa Bay You can find it at any Grocery store.

Adobo is awesome with pork or poultry.

Did six (6) brines and six turkeys. One went to my local Fire Statio and one to my local Police Pred. Like the Bourbon Brine and the Italian Brine better than Alton Brown's Brine.
