Hi Denny,
I can't help you with the sugarless brine, but you may want to try using Splenda (sucralose) instead of sugar in your brines. It is approved for use in cooking & measures out just like sugar. I have not used it in a brine, but have in BBQ sauces, sausage, jerky marinades, beans, coleslaw, etc. & it has worked great. I would think it would work just as well as sugar in a brine.

The brine will just be carryin' flavors and allowin' the salt to establish an equilibrium,I think.
I don't know that sugar has nothin' to do with nothin','less ya like sweet stuff.
Look at the flavors you enjoy and use them.
The brined products we get from the stores are just an array of salts,used to get the meat weight up and hold the color.
'course when the bride returns,she'll probably say I was mispoke -as usual.
