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!!!!!!
