8 Gallons of Turkey Stock - in my brew pot.
|
|
After cooking/smoking 3 turkeys for TDay.
I deciede to make up some stock.
I generally do so each Sat after thanksgiving for my traditional turkey gumbo.
However with 3 carcass I went for a larger goal to make stock that I can freeze.
after I simmer/boil for 3 hours.. I was going to use the wort chiller to get the temp down then put in containers and freeze... should be good stuff.

Oh I thought you were going to try for your 21st century version of "cock ale"
or at least the fermented version of...
But wow 8 gallons of homemade stock....I can't even begin to count the ways I'm jealous of you right now...
So how are you going to get the grease an eau du turkey out of your pot and wort chiller though?

It is an immersion chiller.. and I have not thought that far ahead....
Probably .. soak in oxy and then re season the aluminum with a nice long boil?
thoughts?

I dunno...that's why I hoped you had an idea....I'm thinking you may need a long boil first to hopefully remove any grease (which would be my biggest concern, you don't want that in your wort).
I remember a kitchen degreaser back when I was a kid called "grease relief" it was blue and dissolved greas from any pots and pans...if they still mage that I would soak everything in that first, then boil, then rinse thoroughly...maybe a couple boils..

DOn't panic,,,yet... 
I googled and found out that as I suspected "grease relief" was caught in a corportate takeover, I think by Johnson and johnson and Discontinued...
BUT there are some extremely strong Orange Degreasers....They have them at Gordon's Food Service...they are so good that undiluted they will dissolve the fat from your flesh...but IIRC they won't harm pipes and pots...so you might want to look into that...I think I even recalled seeing the product in HD near the turkey fryers and BBQ's

the mold repair guys in my shop use an orange cleaner that you have to wear high grade gloves for protection. i'm not saying to use this but gfs should be able to solve the grease issue then just reseason.

It's probably the same stuff....unless one is foodsafe while the other isn't...I lived with a woman who worked in the food industry, and she used to bring the stuff I'm talking about home...it worked great, but was pretty dangerous you had to wear gloves as well....
The grease relief stuff that my mom used to buy, was real benign.
But the orange stuff doubled as a grease trap drain degreaser in kitchens..
I'm sure that would work...
Eriks right about the need to re-season everything.

When I am in the middle of a "back when I was a kid" memory, it usually does not include kitchen degreaser.

Well, I had to do the dishes....and it saved a heck of a lot on elbow grease, and got me back in front of the tv quicker....
That WAS important to me back in the day.
