Well, I punked out and threw it in the trash without opening the package. Mostly because I didn't want to have to scrub my trash can! Ended up making a fresh brisket and ribs and it all came out really well.

I kind of want to open the cryovac now. I fell like I'm missing out on a right of passage if I don't!

Yeah after seeing my fridge was on the warm end that explains the puffy bag ! I've wet aged before with no problems. Guess I can't do it in the summer with my garage fridge ! They explain the wet age process here for anyone unfamiliar http://howtobbqright.com/blog/?p=1770

Just checked, its 44... The fridge is in my garage so maybe it's not keeping up with the summer heat.

So I've wet aged 3-4 briskets now for 45 days with no problems. I've got one in the fridge now that I'm planning to cook Friday. It'll be 60 days at that point. The cryovac plastic isn't punctured at all but it's starting to get air in it. Is this a problem ? I haven't had that happen before...
