Turkey is in the brine!

[SantaCruzBrew]

Tis the season so I thought, despite my noob status, it might be worth resurrecting this thread. I did a beer brine with a home brewed traditional bock last year. It was amazing! Had family and some new friends who had just moved to the area with no nearby family over for turkey day and they all claimed it was the best turkey they've ever had! I used Sean Paxton's recipe, btw. Gonna do it again this year (there really is no going back), but I have no homebrew ready hence I will use something like guinness or alaskan amber (leaving enough to drink during cooking...and brining).

What are other folks doing this year?

Love the anniversary thread, revived a whole year later.
We are going non traditional this year, steak and lobster for save-the-turkey day!

I wanted to do a Boston butt this year instead of a turkey, but I have to go to the parents So many better foods than a bland turkey.

Sweet and sour chicken, pork and shrimp dumplings and beef stirfry. Chicken, pork, beef, and seafood, those cover the four food groups, right?

I'm mashing sweet potatoes and habaneros and serving them to folks without telling anyone, habaneros and sweet potatoes are the same color so no one will know until they put it in their mouth hole.

I'm the Loki of holiday get togethers in my family. I love Thanksgiving!

Wish we could have a chinese thanksgiving dinner... This year its at the grandparents in law, which is good because at least her side of the family gets wasted on the holidays.
