I am jealous. It is about 20 F here today.LMAO! Thats why you put it next to the house. The heat from your walls keeps the stockpot just above freezing and well within "safe range". LOL!!!
Just how cold IS it there? Its above zero here celcius...um...its...40F I think right now.
I would like to brine this year. Is it just 1 cup of salt to a cup of sugar and the rest water?? The turkey isn't salty is it?
Overnight in the stockpot. 1/4 cup of coarse salt and 1/4 cup brown sugar to a gallon or so of water. (Sorry I think in liters, you might need 1/2 cup of each for a gallon.)
