That time of the year... turkey brine

[wbratt1]

I've been using this since I tried it ~ 4 years ago. I used to wet brine my turkeys, but this is so much easier, less messy and every bit as good if not better.

I'm trying Harvest brine for the first time as per a thread I was reading here several weeks ago. It also discussed cooking the turkey upright, beer can fashion but I cant find it at the moment. One of you bumped a turkey thread link with pictures and all but I forgot to save it.

Found it. Im trying this method next week. Thanks Sir!!!

Harvest Brine is excellent as is the one mentioned- patiodaddio’s. Turkey Brine 101 is also excellent by Smokin Okie. If doing a wet brine you may need to put a rock in a plastic bag and put it in the birds cavity to make sure it is totally submerged

What is the consistency of Harvest Brine? Can you put it in a typical salt shaker or is it too thick?

I use a shaker John

I just realized that our Harvest Brine bag is... empty.

Emergency order placed (along with some Garlicky Lemon!).

Fingers crossed that DeJoy's USPS shenanigans don't mess this up for the masses.

Good luck Marc
I just put the Harvest Brine in a bowl and use my hand/fingers to put it on I always end up using more than needed but that has not been a problems I think a regular salt shaker holes would be too small

Order is shipped, but I share your concerns with timely shipping now a days.

In fact we just sold out of larger sizes of HB due to raw material shipping issues (from within the US, we don’t buy from overseas).
