    I was amazed to see the amount of people that disliked this version. I love it and make it for friends quite frequently. I do have a few variations however:
    1. Always use the flat cut. Round ends up too tough.
    2. I cook it at 300 for at least five hours.
    3. I like to use the dutch oven.
    4. Small red potatos added whole for the last few hours works great.
    5. I usually spoon out some of the juice into a pan and cook the cabbage separately. I can control the texture. I like the cabbage still a little crunchy.
    6. Use good beer. I made it with a well known light beer once and it didnt have the flavor. I like to use Moose Drool( a Montana microbrew. And yes...you have to use the Irish whiskey.
    This is really the only way to make corned beef as far as I am concerned.

    Wow! I will never "boil" corned beef again. It is an all day affair but it taste amazing. I did not put in the wiskey, but I used all the other ingredients. At the end I let the meat rest on a cutting board tented with foil and put the vegtables in a bowl leaving the liquid in the pan. I cooked cabbage in the reserved liquid on the stove. Yuuum. Now we are kickin' back drinking a Black and Tan! Enjoy

    I followed the recipe exactly, using a point cut store-bought corned beef brisket (luckily it was only 6 bucks, and Bell's Stout and Porter and Jameson's whiskey. The braising liquid after 3 hours was bitter and awful tasting. After another 2 hours, the vegetables were basically still raw, but fortunately hadn't absorbed too much liquid. I drained the liquid roasted them and they were OK. The corned beef was really rubbery but tasted OK--edible if sliced REALLY thin. Perhaps it was the choice of beer and brisket cut (a flat cut would have been better submerged in the liquid. Either way this is a really poorly written (and maybe conceived recipe. Will not take a chance on it again.
