Upstate NY, by upstate I don't just mean 30 miles north of NYC ;-)
My current cookers include a Shirley Fabrication 24x36 patio model; Weber Performer with the Slow-n-Sear 2.0 & Drip & Griddle; Pit Boss Series 2 propane smoker & SnS Travel Kettle.
Straight Whiskey: I'm a bourbon guy. All time favorite Pappy Van Winkle 12 year. Standard go to Blantons
Blended Whiskey: James Oliver American Whiskey
I also enjoy an occasional cigar
I'm making corned beef and started my brine 10 days ago. If I want to serve this on Thursday for St. Patrick's day, can I keep it in the brine until Wednesday (15 days total) before a 24 hour soak to desalinate or should I pull it now, desalinate and freeze it until Wednesday?
Assuming it's refrigerated, it should be fine. You could, of course, pull then vacseal now but... eh. Why are you desalinating? Or are you not doing the traditional boil?

I don't know if you're using pink curing salt but I think prague #1 is good for around 10 days, and prague #2 for longer periods. Don't know if that is a hard rule or not though
Yea Jerod's right, consult the calculator. I believe the rule of thumb is 25% longer than the cure time the calculator comes up with. My brisket flats calculate just about 5 days but I leave them for 6-7 since I go week end to week end. How large is that piece of meat?
