I don't have beer, but maybe beef stock? It's pretty well trimmed with a
bit of a fat cap. I've already put on the rub (last night) I've never done
a brisket and usually just pot roast my beef roasts. Hubby doesn't like
rare meat, so never oven roast beef. Would you brown it first. My slow
cooker has a metal non stick pan. Would you put in root veggies toward the
end? I have potatoes, carrots and rutabaga...thanks...Sharon
