So I went and bought a prime brisket from costco last night. All was fine but in my transporting it home there must a been a tiny whole punctured in the cryovac pack. Since I am not smoking it until super bowl sunday I had to freeze it. I woke up this morning and there was frost on the brisket although still in the package. I ran cold water over the package to eliminate the frost, and took it out of the package. I attempted to wrap it tight in plastic wrap but it was nearly impossible as it was frozen. The best I could do was wrap it as tight as I could in foil and then back in the freezer. I will be taking it out next wednesday to thaw for trim and injection saturday evening. Will it be fine for the next 6 days in the freezer or should I be worried? Thanks!!
