Corned Beef Froze During Brine! Help!

[ShellandSwine]

Hey guys! I'm making my first corned beef right now following Meathead's directions. I've come into a problem though! My refrigerator, which is in my shed, dropped its temp down to the mid-20 degrees on day 2 when the outside temps took a dive. The water got slushy and the meat froze to the bottom of the brine bucket. I'm getting the temp back up now. Do you think the meat will be alright/safe still??

The meat should be fine. Just go the extra 20% in the cure that the calculator allows. It should be okay. How many days was it frozen?

Top info right there. Salt penetrates slower when it's colder.

Thanks for the reply! It was frozen just the one day.

I have put corned beef in the freezer without issue as well as cured pork belly that I knew I wasn’t going to get to in time.
