Brain tanning is very in depth. Its not hard but there is a lot to learn to produce a good hide.
A quick brake down of how we do it.
#1 Flesh it
#2 rack it
#3 Scrape off the hair and epidermis
#4 un rack it
#5 put the deer brain in a blender with water and blind it to a soup, then put it in a pot and bring it to a boil to kill any diseases or bacteria. dump in a 5 gal bucket and add about 1-2 gals of water.
#6 put hide in bane slurry
#7 ring it and soak it 3 times.
#8 sew up the hide into a sock
#9 Huck it up to a smoker and smoke it
#10 flip it inside out and smoke the other side
#11 cut out sting and soak it.
#12 put it back into the brains and soak and ring it 3 more times.
#13 ring it out real good and start braking it by stretching the hide every directing. you can do this on your knees out with a cable
#14 let it dry and stretch it every 10 mins until its dry
#15 sew it back up and smoke both sides.
And your done.
