Thank you so much 👍

For extra depth take the sauerkraut and toss it in a scalding cast iron skillet and get a little char going. So good.

Enjoy all of your sausage recipes. Thank you

Just finished seasoning a batch and about to stuff them. Fried a taste tester with my homemade kraut to top the patty.. fantastic! Thanks Joe

My next two sausage projects are boudin, and bratwurst. Thanks for the instruction vid.

Finally some good weather this weekend here in Germany. Time to grill a few of these! Thanks for the inspiration, always a good day when you post a video!

My son has a BBQ business in SoCal and he's into fusion sausages. But personally, brats are my all-time favorites. I'm going to make a batch of this and see how it sells. Thank you!

Looks terrific. I am using this recipe next time I make Brats. Thank you Joe

Thanks for the recipe!!

Love your channel, Joe. Thank you for continuing to post content. I've wanted to get into sausage making, have all the equipment, and have been looking for an authentic bratwurst recipe. This fits the bill. Can't wait to try it.

That was a really cool story that you started with!

Those look awesome! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Appreciate super accurate and neutral use of % in description of amount of ingredients. Love the sausage. Kinda similar to polish eastern white sausage which is my favorite boiled or baked with garlic.

My next sausage Joe. Looks amazing. Thank you to you and your cousin.

Simple and delicious thanks Joe

Well done Joe! Looks delicious and has inspired me to give sausage making at home a try. Thank you sir!

3,2,1, LETS Sausage!!!!

These look great. When I simmer my brats, I add butter, onions, and mushrooms to the beer, and simmer on the pit. Then a nice little grilling, and fantastic! I'll have to try the egg binder. Another great video Joe!

Awesome that you’re back!

Thanks Joe! I eagerly await each video to post. You’re the best! And I like how you are ambidextrous with your “See Ya’ “ wave!!!

Wow, I always thought there was some chicken breast in German Brats because they were always white and mild tasting. Thank you I will be making this recipe!

Always enjoy your videos Joe, I'm a huge fan, I love grilling, I consider myself pretty good

You know what would have made this video better?.. if you would have announced at the end, "im gifting the Yoder & the G2 to Randy...😂". Great video Joe!..

Great video, I will try eggs next time I make sausages. For the people that want to do a classic autentic German thing Don't use the potatobread that stuff is unobtainable in the continent of Europe. Use dinnerroll that is widely avaliable. (Not ment as criticism to the video)

Great recipe here. It's very close to one I've been using from an old skool Nürnberg German butcher. Add a little marjoram and you've got authentic Nürnberg / Franken area bratwurst.

Definitely going to try this one Joe, Looks fantastic bro!

That's as well done of a how to video as I've ever seen. My brother and I got into sausage making about 10 years ago and we bought nice equipment like you have. It was fairly expensive but in the long run you won't regret it.

Looks great! I never thought to add eggs but that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the video 🤙

Those look pretty delicious, I'm going to have to try your recipe. I spent half my life living in Germany and I go back every so often. One of the first things I look for when I go are the authentic German sausages. Can't beat 'em. Also, I like your kitchen shears, they look to be all metal construction. Do you have a link to them where they can be purchased? Thanks and have a blessed day!

Visited the Christmas market in Munich and Frankfurt last year. They did actually have a large live fire pit, similar to the Salt Lick. Those look killer can’t wait to try, thanks for sharing!

I may have to make that 5 hour drive to check out The Sausage Shop!

Hey Joe, I’m from Wisconsin and at least in my family, we would take the fresh brats and grill them up first. Then you get big pot full of beer and a ton of sliced up onions heated up and make yourself a brat hot tub. After you grill them off, you nestle those bad boys into the beer and onion hot tub and they stay hot and juicy for hours. If you’re having a party, this is the way to go.

Way cool backstory Joe. Here at home we are blessed with an old German community and delicatessens. Our favorite sausage is Rempel's Mennonite Farmer sausage. I figured that you have never had sausage like this, but after hearing about your history and cousins business, you have tasted the real deal. Texas has a strong German influence. I watched the YT video - The Sausage Shop "The Hernandez Take Over" They are a lovely couple. Thanks to them for sharing. Now pass the BratDogs! (nice oompah, oompah music track btw)

They simmer them in Southern Germany and is called white sausage served with chunky Sweet mustard. Brat means sauté. So a bratwurst has to be grilled 😊. And is often served in a bun with Yellow mustard to go. So you did the whole deal!

I hear the cheese heads coming! Im from Chicago and love heading to Wisconsin for brats!

Looks delicious, I'll definitely be trying this one. If saving for later, would you freeze them before or after the beer braise?

That’s a great looking brat, when I was stationed in Germany I lived in a small village Frankenthal, one of the Gasthous used to serve me brats like a rueban, I am not sure if it was thousand islands or some home made sauce but I loved it and have never been able to recreate it

Thanks for sharing, Joe! I'll have to try the bratwurst. I have a recipe, but this one sounds like it's worth trying. And man, tablespoons aka, volumetric measuring for sausage is fine as long as your pork butts or whatever meat is the exact weight as the recipe, but it falls hard on its face if you have a different amount of meat. Weight, and grams are absolutely superior for a consistent product with whatever amount of meat you may have. For those who may be curious about the eggs. The egg functions as a binder. They add extra protein. That's why it's a good binder. You'll see some German sausages call for heavy whipping cream for the same reason, a binder.

I believe that I will try this Joe. But when I'm finished, I won't be adding sauerkraut as I am not a fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is bratwurst perfection! Love it👍😊

Bro that Brawurst looks crazy delicious thanks for sharing the recipe. I spent sometime in Germany with my parents in the late 70s early 80s and yes their Brawurst are fantastic. Cheers!🍻

Shout out to a home town guy, EP. But with a german brat you need some german mustard to go with it. Amazon has "German Mustard Düsseldorfer Löwensenf Medium 100g From Germany". This will get you the taste you need. Love the show....

I always add some pico de gallo along with the sauerkraut and some pickled jalapenos. To me that is a near perfect Texas dog. You have to drown it in Texas red to be perfect. Great video!

Personally, I poach them all then freeze the extra. That way I don't have to mess with poaching them later and can just thaw and grill them!

That works too. Plus, vacuum sealing them raw squeezes the meat out of the casing. 👍

Powdered milk and white pepper. Lots of bratwurst recipes. Not a fan of the J Ville ones but I don't hate them either. I cook mine in fluid at 150 to 160 for about 10 minutes. Yours look good.

I've used eggs and I've used heavy cream. I've never really noticed the difference between using these as opposed to plain water.

I'm wanting to try making a smoked sausage with fruit in it. Could you do a video on that?

But the most important question: does your cousin hand you a beer when you walk in the shop? 😂😂 Great video, thanks for sharing!

I suggest avoiding hoppy beer for cooking. The bitterness gets concentrated in the food, and it's not good. Any traditional lager like Lone Star should be great... but save the IPAs for the glass. 🍻
