Hi hoekklijn,
Before giving up, I would re-read Boofer's thread. As I recall, the PC was dominant for him for quite some time as well. It was really only near the finish that the b.linens finally came through. Have a look at the dates of his posts, and figure out where you are in his sequence. You might be at a similar "all PC point". The brine washing must keep the surface level acidity at the right point (i.e. not too acidic) for the PC. It should eventually die back and the b.linens win out.
