After so many great briskets cooked with Chris'
wonderful recipe
http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/fo...690093152#9690093152
(this is the one with the wine, vinegar, apple juice, worchesteshire, etc. then rub) the brisket I made was tender but had a bitter aftertaste. Was this the wine/vinegar combo. The brisket looked great. Brisket was 7lb and cooked for 14 hours(temps ran low-200-220) Thanks
 
that recipie is very detailed, thats tough. It wasn't a smokey bitterness was it? Did the meat smell funny at first, often I read of meat being funky, and that it can even last through the cook (so i've read, an example is: someone here thought there meat smelled a little off, didn't think much of it, but when pulled from smoker noticed again, or maybe even ate some, I just forget.) Thats about all I have for you esp. since you've done that procedure plenty of times. Im not going to tell you the recipie is funky because its just not true and I wouldn't want to read that. I don't have near the steps as him but chances are everyone on the board is probably a better cook then I!

sorry not much help.
 
Thanks for your reply. Made this recipe at least 12 times. Every time the same. Only difference is bottle of wine which was only 2 years old. Maybe just bad luck. Going to have a bad one once in a while. Glad only my wife, daughter and i this time.

You may be right as this is the only variable which had changed. It was a bottle from a christmas gift. I usually use the wine from trader joes which i buy by the case to cook with. I did not perform a sniff or taste test. the bottle had a label saying it had won multiple awards. Not mine.
I think I will jump back in with my standard wine and make another brisket. Need to because I got my chef's choice slicer today in the mail
