This is just a little tidbit from my own personal cookbook, I have sent it to at least one other member, if you want a copy, just shoot me a PM.
Brining Meat - Ingredients and Process
The water to salt ratio is 1:16 or 1 cup of Kosher salt per gallon of non-chlorinated water. I usually require around 2 gallons of water to cover a 12 pound turkey and therefore I use 2 cups of kosher salt. Any seasonings you choose to add after the base solution should contain little or no salt else the brining meat you are using can become too salty.
