Corned beef in it's original packaging supposedly keeps only 3 months
without losing quality. If you just had a well wrapped hunk of roast it
would keep longer, more like 9-12 months. So what would be the advantage
of having already brined, frozen meat in your freezer. Plus the brine
solution would take up valuable space in the freezer.
