What is the best recipe for making brine?

I agree with the above post, it really depends on what you are looking for but also what you are putting in it. Ham and bacons use brines but that is different than some other meats that are brined. I would check out another site that I love. They have spices, seasonings, cures, and lots of cool toys for cooking making different meats. Try this www.midwesternresearch.com. They also have some helpfull hints there.
