Mine is almost the exact recipe. Just a couple of differences.

Finney’s Brisket Juice
Based on Rick Salmon’s – Rick’s Sinful Marinade… Which was based on the Basic Beer Mop in Smoke and Spice

12 oz. of beer (good hoppy Ale)(cheap beer is not your friend)
½ cup cider vinegar
½ cup of water
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon beef base
2 tablespoons barbeque sauce
2 tablespoons onion (very small dice)
2 large cloves of garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon seasoned rub.
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon MSG (Accent)
½ - 1 teaspoon celery seed (I cut this WAY BACK from Rick's recipe)

Mix the ingredients and heat to blend


add ¼ - 1 cup to the brisket when wrapping in foil.

Would this be a good injection also?

It may taste good but it will leave injection stains on the meat. You might try leaving out the wooster and BV from the mix if you want to inject.

Sorry for the dumb question but is it the dark colored liquids that leave the injection marks?

Im cooking this weekend to practice my brisket for a competition coming up so i wanna try and make it as close as possible for what i will be doing in the competition and i dont want injection marks.

The pigments in some dark liquids will stain the meat. If it's a light stain, you might be able to mask it with sauce.

[Bbqbrad]

is this amount for one brisket?

[Finney]

If you actually mop the brisket, it could be. If you are just putting it in the foil then it is plenty for two (maybe three).

After my Kings Mountain brisket and some extra strong garlic... I'm going to 'sweat' the garlic (and onions) in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients, or switch to garlic and onion flakes.

I don't think I'd use anything containing celery seeds as an injection for competition. Imagine biting into a celery seed when you're expecting brisket.

[RobKC]

I used a very similar marinade. All the dry ingredients get a run or two through my spice grinder. This eliminates the celery seed issue.
