This was my first brisket cook in a long while. Since February 26, 2021 i've been determined to lose a significant amount of weight, which I have now but that just meant I didn't get to eat the foods that I love and the ones that made me so big...HA.
So here's my first brisket in over a year, this was a 18+ lb Costco prime brisket bought back in July and wet aged over 100 days in my fridge. I would put this one in my top 5 briskets i've ever cooked and maybe even top 3. I cut the brisket in half, right in front of the point, cooked the flat for 6 hours until it hit the stall then pulled, vac sealed it and stuck it in a sous vide water bath. The point took around 16 hours to reach doneness, which was around 202. Even wrapped in butcher paper at the stall it still took that long!!! Anyway, it was after midnight when it finished so I wrapped the entire thing in double foil and an old bath towel and stuck it in the cooler. Around 8am or so I unwrapped it and to my surprise it was still a little warm, so tender and juicy with loads of beef flavor, yea I snuck a small slice......ok it wasn't so small and yes I did count it towards my daily calories...HA. This was so good that I've already bought a replacement and it's in the fridge aging as I write.
