I just pulled it out of the box... thank you! ;D

I'm more of a steak tartar kinda guy... slowly cooked meat is all new to me.. looks like the "brine" is just for "curing" it's not a marinade, I'll let the brisk sit in there for a couple of hours..

when I make it (maybe a few times a year) it's always on low for something like 8 hours.

Just start it in the morning and it's done by dinner

you really can't screw it up

What is your process?  What cut of meat are you using?  You can buy a corned brisket, which will save the trouble of brining.

Maybe Cheftim or Migs will chime in...

You realize that there is no corn in the beef and corn balls, right?

the corned beef your buying at the store has already been thru the brineing process. the guy on that video ( i didnt watch it), most likely was  brining a beef brisket therefore turning it into corned beef

u just throw that bad boy in a pot of boiling hot water all fuckin day and BAM! its done! theres more to it, but its pretty simple.
