OK, I know this is an odd question, but I have been brining my Thanksgiving turkeys for years, and usually use a gallon of apple juice, a gallon of water, salt, brown sugar,pepper and a bunch of herbs. I am wondering if anyone has used unfermented wort in a brine? I know the SG of apple juice is right in the 1.050 range from making hard cider, so is there any reason I should not try using a gallon of unhopped wort instead of the apple juice?
I am planning to try this on a test turkey the weekend before Thanksgiving.
