How long can a raw brisket sit in the fridge?
Comments
-
In or out of a cryo? In a cryo you could go up to like a month and you basically be just wet aging it. Out of a cryo just wrapped I would say a week at minimum
-
In or out of the cryowrap, it'll wet or dry age and that can be done for many weeks. I had one in my fridge for 6 weeks in the cryo and it smelled the same as a fresh brisket.

Don't listen to him. He's just an idea guy. He's no good with logistics.With that being said, I have no idea how to answer your question.

I've done a cryo pack one for over two weeks more than once.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.
-
Sounds good. I'm doing one for our family Christmas next Friday night but have to work the next 7 days so will have to pick it up a good bit before than. I want to do one from the butcher not a cryo one._______________________________________________XLBGE

So you want the butcher to take the cryo off and double the price and shorten how long it will last?
-
I've got one in the fridge now (6lb flat in cryo) that says on the costco printed label
pack date: 12/4/13
sell by: 12/11/13
I think I bought it early last week. I'm hoping to smoke (turbo) it the weekend after xmas. Either that, or toss it :(
-
Its a sell by date, not an expiry date. Judging by what folks are saying here, it should be fine in the cryovac.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

That's what I figured...it's just wet aging, which apparently can go for several weeks. I've got it in the back of the fridge, near the freezer vent...so I figure it's probably the coldest part.

Does this hold true for ribs as well? I've got a pack of 3 from Sam's Club that I thought I would have smoked by now...probably 10 days in the fridge, still in wrap, probably just need to put them in the freezer.

If they are in cryo then yes. But be prepared for a funky smell when you crack it. It will go away in 10-15 min. This has been discussed on here to death so if you are spooked by stinky meat that stops stinking after 10-15 don't eat it. Just buy it from the meat counter where they took it out of the cryo and let the stink dissipate before putting it out for sale )Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Sucks to be you guys! My butcher gets them directly from the mooing animals out back.Lit said:So you want the butcher to take the cryo off and double the price and shorten how long it will last?

I'm just assuming my butcher does too, everything else I've bought from him is fresh cut when you order. Maybe I should call and make sure. Can go to Kroger for a cryo one.Eggcelsior said:

I'm either buy from butcher tomorrow or cryo at Kroger on Sunday. Smoke Thursday night for Friday._______________________________________________XLBGE -
A friend of mine always goes to the same butcher and one day I went with him. He took us in the back and showed us how to seperste a tri tip off the sirloin and he peeled some skirts for us and started talking about how butchers had changed. He said something happened around 2000 where butchers that want to process full animals have to pass really tough standards and have their doors open at all times for inspection. He said 99% of butchers now just break down primals since there's so much red tape to jump through the other way. I watched the butcher break open excel brand primals and make cuts for customers. They could have went to Sams and got the same primals and cut them themselves for half the price or less. There are farms around I have checked into where you can buy from but the prices are ridiculous and I have a restaurant depot card so I get choice black angus brisket for about $2.25 a pound and they are better than the ones I have gotten from the local butchers.

@smokeypitt I watched this butcher take a box of frozen sausages from Patak meats out of his freezer and put them in his case. At Patak all the sausages are like $2.50 a pound and if you are buying boxes even cheaper and his price was $5.99 a pound. Have you ever been to Patak?

True true. My butcher is also slaughterhouse that sells choice and prime beef. They process 100 cattle for distribution in the mid-atlantic and northeast per day.

Wish I could find something like that around here. Everything I have found comparable here in GA the prices are so high I could have snake river farms wagyu overnighted for cheaper.

The only bad thing about Patak is they are only open during the week.

@Lit
Well thank you for the tip my man. I was about to spend almost double for the exact same brisket Walmart sales. Called the butcher asked him to cut me a 13ish pound brisket and what grade did they have. He said they only had vacuum sealed choice but I could pick my size out!!

Is that out in Frederick? I remember you mentioning one closer to Baltimore, but I've apparently killed those brain cells.Eggcelsior said:
