  • In this video I take the next step in my dry-aged brisket experimentation. 19.47 lb USDA Choice and the results were amazing! After the trim, I smoked it over hickory.

    This was a basic, "Old School" smoke. I ran my smoker at 250ºF burning hickory wood the entire time. I did not add water to the cooker on this cook and did not wrap. Could this be the next "Competition Brisket" trend? Let this pitmaster know what you think!

    Brisket cook:
    I rested the brisket prior to the cook (at room temperature) for about one hour. After the brisket was rested, I applied "Head Country" marinade and the two rubs. Again, I let the brisket rest allowing it to "sweat" through the rub.
    I was burning hickory in my offset with a temperature of 220º to 225ºF.
    My plan was to cook the brisket without wrapping until "probe tender". One thing I noticed about this cook is it never hit a stall.
    This brisket was done in 8 hours and forty-five minutes. I pulled it from the pit, wrapped it and rested it in a cooler for a couple of hours before slicing.
    Upon slicing the brisket in half the first thing I noticed was how juicy it was. Juices were flowing like a waterfall. It was crazy!
    The flavor was very different than your typical brisket. It had a much more concentrated flavor, very rich and earthy, almost like a really good steak, but it didn't lose that brisket character.
    Would I do anything different? I am very pleased with dry-aged briskets so far. My 30 day experiment is what motivated me to do a 60 day. I think I could have cooked this one a tad longer however. Although it was very tender, I think I could have pushed it a little longer.
    My next dry-aged brisket will be 45 days long.
    Cheers!
    Greg

      Man its consistent with your vid Guga. Crazy stuff that the brisket becomes such a juicer after aging 60 days.

  • @BabyBackManiac
    @BabyBackManiac Před 5 lety +73

    It’s like a meat magic trick. First you turned a normal brisket into a block of wood... and then you turned the block of wood into the juiciest brisket I’ve ever seen!
    Great video, David Copperfield (or possibly Blaine depending on your preference.)

    Awesome stuff as usual Greg! If you plan on making a 3rd video in this series (the 45 day brisket), you should try doing two similar briskets at the same time, one dry aged and one just normal. Would be interesting to see them side by side. Keep us the awesome work!

  • @etherdog
    @etherdog Před 5 lety +7

    Greg, first of all, fantastic final product. I did not expect so much juicy waterfall. Kudos!
    I also appreciate the scientific approach you took in measuring the before and after weight.
    So my question is, does the flavor of the dry aged differ significantly from the normal brisket (usually beef is aged 21 days of hanging time). And because you have the added expense of the Umai bags and the vacuum sealer, and then the time spent on trimming the bark (which is inconsequential in the weight), plus the time (and space) cost of aging the meat, can you quantify the value added of the aging? Is there a flavor profile that is linear with aging or exponential?
    You do great work and you have helped me be a better cook. All the best to you and your family!

  • @SmokedReb
    @SmokedReb Před 5 lety +1

    Amazing video Greg, the brisket looked like a work of art, "a thing of beauty" The sad part is now we have to wait, at least, 45 for days to see the next dry aged brisket video. I am wondering how you would have known the brisket would have needed another 5 degrees on the BBQ? It was extremely tender, the probe was going in like hot butter. Cheers brother!

  • @craig721
    @craig721 Před 5 lety

    Nicely done, Greg! Honestly, once I saw the brisket after the 63 days of dry aging, I thought, "Man, that thing is going to be dry and tough as shoe leather." I'm impressed! There was a great deal of work and patience involved in that slab of beef, but it certainly looks like it was worth it. I will have to give that a try. Again, nicely done! Happy New Year and Cheers from Kentucky!

    My first brisket was 65 and a smaller one so it shrank a bit but it turned out amazing. I currently have one in that will go on smoke april 15 which because of unforeseen circumstances it will be a 120 day dry. But it was also a bigger slap

  • @TexasStyleCuisine
    @TexasStyleCuisine Před 5 lety

    Greg what a beautiful brisket. It was a great video. There is not a huge weight loss in that brisket compared to a regular cook. I test brisket yields every year with my high school and college students. Do I test around 6 briskets every year. You lost 56% and year in and year out my test are 47% - 53% loss. Usually they are in the 50%-53% loss. Now we test plain packers. So the aging process did not drastically change the yield of eatable portion. Thanks for sharing this great information.

    • @BallisticBBQ
      @BallisticBBQ  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks for stopping by Johnny. Yeah, I've read in forums that dry-aging brisket wouldn't be worth it do to the loss of yield. I would have to disagree with that assertion! Like you said, the loss is close to what you'd expect from a traditional cook and the flavor is amazing!

  • @robmetzger9955
    @robmetzger9955 Před 5 lety

    It makes sense there isn’t any stall. Stall happens when moisture evaporates from the meat. The dry age process removed all the excess moisture. That’s why it shrank & lost weight. My question would be is there a more intense beef flavor?

  • @Chinchilla_in_the_Villa

    A 45 day dry aged brisket would be perfect with that longer 5 degree cook. Maybe trim a bit more of the fat cap off before the cook for a fuller/more even smoke ring. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

      @johnsmith-sv1vr Před 5 lety +1

      Harry I've never seen a juicier brisket. Guga foods did a youtube video on a Weber and the results were very similar. We may very well see this in competitions if it's viable. Mad Scientist BBQ had poor results on a creekside farm 12lb brisket. He had it professionally dry aged as opposed to the umai method.
      I think a 12lb is just too small to get a good test.

  • @67polara

    In theory isn't the stall caused by a lot of water in the meat which has to evaporate out? Then your dry-aging drains a lot of that out it may be the reason for the reduced stall right?
