Came home from work and decided to pick up some $1.49 lb. butts and make some brats. Ground it up, seasoned and stuffed. Had to much meat and not enough casing, so I made a bratwurst fatty for tomorrow. The pic is half the brats- the rest were steaming. All bagged and in the fridge.

I'm thinkin' the same thing...I stopped at Safeway today and they had butts for $.99 so I bought 2 packs.. I have casings in the freezer, so I'm all set.

Can you tell me what kind of seasonings go into making brats or do you buy something made up for those. Been kicking around the idea of doing sausage of some kind especially Italian.

I'm curious about the seasoning as well. Also, did you use natural casings or colagen?

Natural casings - there's a thousand recipes available. I used salt, white pepper, allspice, mace, marjoram, and crushed caraway seeds. For liquid I used white wine.
