Let’s see the grill zeebo

Did this test by accident over Christmas. Cooked 3 briskets but had one left over that we forgot about and didn’t cook it for 60 days later. Everyone rated it better than the fresh ones 😂

The air quotes for "scientist" had me laughing!

I just did this, I’m very surprised that if you kept it to its original vacuum pack, it will stay fresh. People say that the abattoir are maintained sterile. I maintain my fridge under 38 degrees and when I opened it, a little funky blood smell emanated, not foul. After I trimmed it and put the salt brine smell went away. After smoking it and the mandatory rest, we tasted it my wife said it’s delicious and tender. I’m a believer now.

Love how you’re honest with your cook. Not blaming anything but sometimes like you said it is what it is

The aging process causes sweetness. The enzymes break down the meat. One of the products of that is access to the glycogen that was trapped. Cooking breaks meat down in a similar way. However aging it didn't evaporate the moisture (no convective heat) so it's similar to cooking it low and slow for 40 days but over enzymes instead of oak :).

I ran a meat market for over 20 years. I used to buy to many briskets from my warehouse at a reduced price when we had a sale on holidays. Took a month or more to finally sale them usually. Same thing happened on lots of other cuts as well. Now they have just come up with a fancy name for over buying. I`ve also had that funky smell hit me in the face when you open that vacuum sealed package. Goes away in a few minutes usually. Hopefully. LOL

Does he age them at his restaurant, or does he buy them wet aged? High end commercial meat suppliers often supply wet aged meat. They store them at between 29 F to 34 F. Most restaurant refrigerated rooms are set somewhere between 37 F to 40 F. In most cases, the burden of wet aging is shifted to the meat purveyor.

I'm glad you are here to do all of the experiments that I want to do.

You can do it on a smaller and shorter time scale by wet aging a steak such as a tomahawk. I've done various tests and anytime I wet age at least 15 days, there's a difference. The tenderness is immediately noticeable and that subtle "sweeter" beef flavor you mentioned.

I did my last brisket your way with by adding the beef Tallow in the butcher paper ! And i have to say that was the best one I have done yet.

Do it all the time with briskets I leave in the cryovac package it comes in and get 2 brown paper bags and bag it up from both ends put In garage fridge for 30 days maybe gone 40 couple times but I think keeping the light from getting to it helps but if you see a lot of bubbles in the packaging it’s probably gone too long but I haven’t seen that yet

Thanks for the video! I did a 3 month wet aged, and it was fantastic!!

Nice Bark! Definitely going to have to try this!

If I've learned anything from both Guga and my own experimentation, it's that aging beef is THE WAY. Salt brined, wet aged, dry aged, GOTTA let it sit and just naturally become more better!

I know that burnt bean wet ages all of their briskets, I've heard that Franklin's does as well. I've heard that 32 days is the sweet spot

That’s a true cool brother… play the hand you are dealt 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Yay for the blind taste test!!! Interesting results. Great video

I just got the same exact warmer. Excited to try it tonight. I put a brisket on pit at 10 am. Then she will go into the warmer for the night

Wet-aging definitely yields results. It's also doable at a restaurant depending on the supplier and the restaurants arrangement with them. I worked at an upscale resort in town years ago and we were not allowed to let a cut of beef off the truck from the supplier unless it had been wet-aged at least 28 days. We had to inspect every "packaged on" date to make sure that it was to the Executive Chefs standards and we never served beef that was too "young". Great video!

For people saying 40 days is too long or scary; I work for a USDA inspected Beef and Pork facility. Industry standard shelf life for whole boneless beef primals/subprimals (Ribeye, Strips, Brisket…etc) is 8 weeks post pack date.

You start the aging process from production date. Most boneless beef you can age longer then 40days, but you don't hear much about it because people start from purchase date not production date. You should always check production so you can plan out the aging process properly.

Most of us do butts, ribs, and briskets and the amount of leftovers (for most people) is enough to last a few days. Or something as simple as what your favorite leftover meals are....if any...other than just reheating. Just a thought and hopefully you see this 🤷‍♂️🤞

I don't know if this will get a response but I thought I would throw in my $.02 I usually smoke a large brisket, a pork Butt and a couple racks of ribs at one time (there is only 3 of us). What is left over gets portioned, vac-packed and thrown in the freezer. When I want brisket or pulled pork, I put it in the Insta-pot on a rack with a cup of broth for 20 min., then natural release. It is not as good as the first day but way better than going out for BBQ. The brisket makes great tacos and the pork is awesome on a sandwich. The ribs I will put on the grill over medium heat right out of the freezer and finished on high with sauce. Can't tell it was frozen...

"forbidden frosting" was hilarious

I work for the #2 Food distribution company in the US. We supply most of the KC BBQ restaurants. Several of them have us set their meet aside and age it before shipping it.

Chris which double burner did you go with for the Chud Table - Aventco?

Just check the bag after it has thawed if you get a frozen one. If the frozen ones get tossed around they can get little holes that won't hurt if you use them right away but you don't want a hole in the bag if you are going to wet age it. Or just put another vacuum seal bag around it from the start just to be sure. I have got to try this though. Thanks for another great experiment.

I have been doing ribeye and Delmonico steaks wet aging. I only do max 1 week but I buy from the store, season, vac seal, and let sit. When I cook, which usually is cast iron, they don’t burn on the surface of the pan, the meat visually is more red, served at 125-135, and they are by far better than a steak bought, seasoned, and cooked the same day.

The meat being sweeter makes sense if the triglyceride chains in the fat are breaking free in some way, since this would release free glycerine, sweetening the meat itself. IDK what mechanism exactly would cause this, but it's a plausible explanation at least

Where did you buy the burner for the Chud table?

I do this will all the cryovac beef I buy. Unless the bag starts to inflate or leak you can be pretty confident it's fine. The nose knows, but cryovac'd meat tends to have a funky smell when it's opened until it airs out for a few minutes.

I'm iterested in that warmer. Did I read the brand correctly as "Vevor?" And where can one get it? I would be worried about the 40 day old brisket. My fridge likes to grow new and exciting things. 🤣 But if it's vacuum sealed, I'll try it. And I think Emma stole the show!

Jeremy, did the 40 days that you wet aged go past the expiration date on the package, and if not, would you still have smoked it? Also, did you simply leave it in the vacuum sealed package it came in for the 40 day period? Love your videos and look forward to your response 👍🏻

Expiration date, sell by date or use by date is not really a good indicator of un-usable date. It is a date that the manufacturer is willing guarantee their product as "safe to use", which is usually driven by insurance poilicies. Packed date is a much better indicator, however knowledge of the rotting process of any kind of produce is also kind of necessary in determining a true use by date. Also, your nose is a pretty good indicator of usefullness, it's only been evoloving to protect your life from dangerous foods for a few million years after all.

Is there a difference in how dry renders between a select, choice or prime?

30 days for me is the sweet spot. I’ll do the same thing with a bag of tri tips.

I don't think I'll intentionally do this, but its good to know that if I don't get a chance to cook it sooner it will still be good.

How do you reheat brisket after it loses temp overnight?

Jeremy, what gloves do you use (under and over)?

Wonder how the flavor might vary between a lower quality cut (ie select) that's been wet aged vs a higher quality cut (ie prime or choice) that is cooked like you normally would. Could there be a preference towards the lower quality bc of the wet aging flavor or does the higher quality trump the wet aging. Might be an interesting test.
