we don't age our briskets. I try to get it as close to the competition day as possible.
I'd like to try wet aging though and see what happens.
we don't really like freezing it either. We have frozen them, and didn't see a real difference. Just a personal choice I guess.
p.s. we also don't buy prime brisket... tried it and not only did it not work out for us, I can't see spending the money... same for Kobe or whatever the other one is... but thats just me. wasnt that the point of Q (a long long time ago before competition)... take the crappy cuts and make them yum?
and... that 'new guy' isn't that new, I guess he's just been busy for, like, a year.
Takes a certain kinda someone to unnerstand Sean. One funny dude.
I hope he comes around more often - he's great at shaking things up. :>
