Serving Brisket

[mjgroover1]

Are there any tips for serving brisket? My brisket when initially slicing (after 2 hour rest) had good moisture but If not eaten immediately it seems to dry out pretty quickly. Is it best to slice for each plate when serving or are there any other tips for serving? Some have mentioned au jus but I am not clear if that is put to the side for each person to use or in serving tray.

Nature of the best with sliced brisket.
Yes, try an au jus to keep it moist, and only slice as needed.
I usually leave au jus out to be used according to personal preference.
But if the brisket is not real moist I'll pour it over slices on the serving platter.

Even though I am not a Brisket Pro here's what I do, slice just enough so that everyone is happy with the 1st round of servings, I know there will always be a second round and don't want my slices to dry out.
I also use just a bit of au jus "painted" on the slices plus keep some on the side so people can decide if they want more or not.
