Maybe a dumb question...so forgive me in advance. I am corning the first of three beef bellies (making pastrami) and have the first one (11+ pounds) in three gallon in the fridge. Is it safe / advisable to reuse the corning liquid for a second belly, after the first one is done?

Can I re-use corning liquid?

same, been looking for one for beef bacon. The only mail order ones I could find were whole belly and the only remaining butcher in my area focuses on pork.

Okay, that seems sensible. I'll start afresh with each (although it would have been so much easier :-)). In answer to the sourcing question...it took me a lot of calls and cajoling but I found a great butcher in LA who will special order them for me. They have a standing order from me...I haven't made pastrami for a year (it didn't seem right, given everything happening in the meat supply chain), but have had great luck with bellies made into pastrami. They are from "Greater Omaha" (see picture).
