• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

I have a frozen wagyu brisket that I bought a few months ago for a contest coming up in a few weeks. Does anybody have any idea on how long this sucker will take to thaw. It's about 13lbs. Is there any harm in letting it sit thawed out in a fridge for a week or so? In the past I've wet aged briskets for 2-3 weeks in the fridge, but not sure if that's ok after it's been frozen.
 
Obviously depends on fridge temp, but the 28lb'er I had took 8 days. I'd give it a week and those extra few days won't hurt it at all if it is thawed early.
 
No harm at all. I typically let my frozen Wagyu's sit in the fridge for 5-7 days to thaw before comps. I've also kept a thawed brisket in the fridge another week after thawing out, with no issue at all.
