DID Big Green Egg make a math error? SEE TURKEY BRINE

SmokeyLosAngeles

See below.  Brine calls for 4 quarts of hot water.  Then it says add ice to bring to one gallon.  Wait isn't there 4 quarts in a gallon?

Inconceivable.

Nice catch, we will look into this.
Here you go Mathlete...
If a train leaves Tuesday and the brine needs to finish by Thursday morning, how many people are on the train? 

BigreenGreg

I believe there were three on the last train out of town.

Im not looking for a gotcha on BGE. Just some clarification.

I think Lit had mastered the BGE brine recipe, but I don think we can ask him any longer.

@SmokeyLosAngeles no problem...here is the answer after checking with the cook on this recipe. "Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until well chilled" 

Thanks again!

Or better yet just make double the amount of brine, but use half of it as cold water or ice. 

Throw it all in a cooler and forget about it for the desired time.

I don't worry about ice cubes. I let it cool, but then throw in the mostly still frozen bird. Now that's an ice cube.

Guess that explains all the saltiness.
