For the brine: Bring 2 quarts water in a large stock pot to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes; add the kosher salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, curing salt, ginger, mustard seeds, pepper, allspice, cloves and bay leaves. Remove from the heat, then add 6 cups ice and let fully cool. Pour over the trimmed brisket until fully submerged. Place in refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
For the brined brisket: Remove the brisket from the brine and rinse thoroughly. In a large stockpot, place the brisket along with the beer, Scotch whisky, coffee and black pepper. Cover with water. Simmer on low heat for approximately 4 hours, adding water as needed to keep the brisket covered.
Use in a Reuben, corned beef and cabbage dinner, etc.
