Chris Lilly's injection...as a brine

[Crakaveli]

I purchased a small yellow tag Smithfield 'All Natural' boneless pork shoulder. I was thinking of brining it using Chris Lilly's injection recipe. Can the measurements be double or tripled or would it be too strong? If so, how could I convert it to a brine recipe?

If you don't already know this, the recipe uses kosher salt. If you use table salt, half the amount or it will be unbearably salty.

Never used it as a brine though. if you're the scientific type (or just good w numbers) you can figure out how much salt (by weight) is in his recipe and adjust to an appropriate salt level for a brine.

Even if you use kosher salt you need to be careful. If the original recipe used Diamond Crystal and you use Morton's, it'll still be incredibly salty.
