So I mentioned in Brandon's Wet aging thread that I was going to buy some good quality beef at this place here in SF. I dropped in without calling, and being that they were a big commercial place, they didn't have everything available in brisket, on hand then. I guess next time I'm supposed to give them about a 3 day notice, and they can have anything from Kobe from Japan, to about anything else, ready for me.
So, I ended up walking out with two Prime briskets from Niemen Ranch, a real good supplier that apparently uses no hormones or antibiotics, and humanly raises and slaughters the cows. They both look wonderful, and weigh in at a total of 34 pounds. Normally they sell the CABs for about $3.81/lb. They sold me this for $3.86/lb. Probably not bad for Prime, but I haven't shopped around. My problem is this, I wanted to do a brisket that I docked or injected with FAB. But I don't think this is appropriate with a Prime. I definitely need to research the forums.
So I stopped by Smart and Final and picked up a no roll packer, to do that original plan. Is there any problem with freezing the prime briskets? I have them chilling out in the fridge for now. And I plan on getting the no roll started in a bit, unless I read anything inspiring on here. I'd appreciate any tips or advice as far as storing the primes. They probably wont get cooked for at least 2 weeks or more, if I don't use one tonight.
