• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Thinking about grilling some brats tomorrow. I have been soaking them in beer(cheap) for about 15min. before the go on the grill.

Anyone have any other way they grill them?

Thanks,

Jack
 
Jack, use the SEARCH function at top right of this page to find posts with brats or bratwurst in them. I have seen some good posts on the site that might help you out.
 
grill? Beer? 15min?

Okay, heres the secret Wisconsin recipe.

Get crock pot. set on high. put in brats. fill with beer. slice up an an onion or two. mix. cover.

when is come to a boil (hour or 2) remove lid slightly (half on) so you don't get boil over.

Cook for like 5 hours or something.

turn on grill.

Remove brats from croc and put in hot grill.

brown them. maybe 2-3 min per side.

best of both worlds. Beer brats with a grill finish.

French roll and Ketchup and enjoy (no kraut for this kraut IMO)
 
my recipe:

jar of sabretts onions(the onions the hot dog vendor uses).
small bottle of franks
6 pack of schafer :)


Mix franks and sabretts together, add beeer unitl its thin enough to boil.

add bratts simmer about 45 minutes on low, then grill for a minute or 2. Serve with them onions..

OMG, i need to have them NOW.... hate when that happens.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. The only kind I can find below the Mason Dixion line is Johsonville.

The first time I had one, was a company BBQ in Appleton, Wis. I told the cook this is biggest hotdog I've ever seen. He said, that ain't no hotdog, it's a brat!!!! I've been hooked evet since!
 
I prefer Johnsonville over all brands that I've tried. Are there brands specific to your areas?
 
Axed (ebonics at work) Colt or do a search on the site. Anything in the fridge.
 
yes my young padawan... put brats in pot... cover with beer... then add one more (can be cheap beer)... ad a bunch of onions, garlic, jalapenos, pickles, franks red hot, tequila, worschty sauce, horseradish, etc. to the mix and boil them through... then let them sit in the stew while you fire up the grill... take from pot to grill, then put back in the pot... put on bun, top with brown mustard, saurkraut, and onions from the stew... yum...

johnsonville.. !! me too, like them the best.!!
 
We buy Jonshonville, since it's what's in the store here. It's about the best we can get on the west coast.

But... if you don't mind waiting a week or two, Usingers in Milwaukee is far better than anything I've found in the store. We order from them a couple of times a year from their website.

And... Bill's recipe sounds right on the money, although we usually just simmer em on the stove till there isn't much beer left and then toss them on the grill right away. Who wants to wait 6 hours for a brat. That, and we don't serve ketchup with our brats. Only brown mustard, the kind with the mustard seeds, like Plochmans.
 
Johnsonville does happen to be a pretty decent brat. If I am in a normal grocery store, that is all I would think about buying.

However..... Check into any local butcher shop and you just might be surprised at the old family recipe thay have.

Oh.... and spam sucks!
 
who waits 6 hours for a brat David? I do. I start them at 7am, so that gives me plenty of drinking time till we eat

I love Sundays.

When is it okay to drink on a Sunday? When the churchbells ring. I love 7:30am mass

Bigdog, get a can of SPAM, slice and grill on both sides while smoking, it's great saused or plain. However, there is danger involved, the danger is that you might like it. :D
Bigdog

I only like to cook when there is danger involved!!
 
Take the oniosn that you put in the beer when you simmer the brats adn put them in a skillet and carmelize them to go on the roll with the brat.
