Buttermilk Brisket Brine

gr0uch0 · Jan 18, 2017

Good to hear all is OK. However, I'm with Gary on this one: to a TX boy, this almost sounds sacrilege to put a brisket in a brine of any sort, but I'm curious to find out the result. Kinda like rubbernecking at an accident to a certain degree.

Let us know when you rekindle this one.

This is an interesting experiment...can't wait to see the results.

I started smoking my 7 lb brisket around 5:30 am. It soaked in buttermilk for 20 hours. The brisket seems a lot more pliable now than it did before the buttermilk.

I also had a gallon of buttermilk that I didn't use. Well i put the baby back ribs in the buttermilk this morning. I figured why not let them soak for a few hours and see what happens!

Here are the full racks of ribs and how pliable they are. Left side baby backs, middle St. Louis, right side baby back.

The brisket had great flavor and nice dark crust. A few more tweaks/try I should have it where I want it. The ribs tasted amazing (even tho I prefer beef ribs! :p )

So how does it compare to other briskets you smoked in the last?

I want able for it to rest any but that is by far my best brisket. I have only done a couple others before it so I'm no expert!

I guess my question is did it improve the flavor ? or give it that "Wow" factor, Is it worth all the extra prep time ?
