The only thing I can add is that if you use the bag method in the cooler make sure to leave room for beer. 8)

That's why there's no room in the refrigerator -- I have very well thought out priorities  ::)

Put the bird & brine in a 2 & 1/2 gallon zip lock & put bag into the cooler


This is how I do my brine and turkey.  The brine is usually brought to a boil first.  I then sit the brine and cooking pot in the cooler with ice until the liquid is cold.  Put the turkey in the bag and add the brine to cover well, squeeze all the air out and close-seal the bag.  It's then into the cooler, cover with ice, and you are good for over 24 hrs. if desired.

LA's way is simple with no clean up, but I just put the bird in a cooler, cover with the brine add ice cubes, and then it is ready the next day. By then most of the ice is melted, but then into the BE it goes.

My brine is also easy. One cup sea salt, one cup brown sugar, boil in water. Simple.

I don't mind washing out the cooler. Not a big deal. Soap, hot water, and pour it out. Takes 60 seconds.
