That´s what they say Bockwurst was served with Bockbier ( Bockbeer ). Bockbeer was invented in north Germany in the Town of Einbeck ( Einbecker Ur-Bock ) around the year 1240. The beer was so successful that it was exported to Italy which was possible back then because of its high alcohol content. Later in 1500 it found its way back to Bavaria Munich and was brewed there. But there is more to the story of Bockbier. Nowadays we have lots of „Bockbier“! Which are the ordinary „Bockbier but there is also „Doppel Bockbier“( doppel means dubble, with even higher alcohol content of cause 😉), „Mai Bockbier“( Mai = Month of May where its available at our Spring Fairs ) than there is more „Fest Bockbier“ for the Chrismas season and last but probably not least „Eis Bockbier“ ( that´s extra special …in the making they separate the parts of water due freezing it all for the one purpose to bring up the alcohol level what else, haha …..it can reach up to 43% vol. 🍻Prost!

My pops had a coworker who was a German immigrant, he use to bring these home. They quickly became my favorite. My pops and his friend e gone now. Eric, thanks for the trip back to my childhood.

His charisma, accuracy, energy, scientific approach, humility, positive attitude.... Too much good to say about the man. I believe that in fifty years, people would still be learning from him.

Ate quite a bit of this sausage while living in Germany. One of my favorites…along with Mettwurst, Thüringer Bratwurst, Nüremberger Bratwurst, Leberkäse…oh, heck…all sausages.

One of my favorite wurst! Thanks for sharing!

My kids used to call these “white hot dogs” and would chow down on these before regular hot dogs. Now it’s just the wife and I so I only make these when the whole family gets together. I stuff these into large sheep casings,24-26 mm. Made the day beforehand and grilled low and slow for a perfect snap.

Well done A2Z speaking explained sausage recipe n supper results,I'm happy n pleased watching ur post from TANGA Tanzania, you deserve a big Wow.

That is a beautiful result you have achieved. As a big fan of emulsified sausages I make these along with genuine German Wiener and Frankfurter sausage regularly and my entire family as well as friends all love them. Using a cutter aid (basically phosphate that activates the meat protein - often sold in Europe as Bullifrisch) ensures maximum emulsification and an absolutely smooth and almost silky texture. Should come with a warning though because once you get into emulsified sausages you very easily get addicted to them 😄

Lovely series. Thank you.

Best German sausage, Curry Wurst. Gotta be eaten outside with Schaschlik Sauce 😊

I'm Bavarian, never heard that story of naming the Bockwurst, but who knows. No idea why Bockbier is called that either, a Bock is generally a male goat or sheep or deer etc. Maybe because Bockbier hits you harder faster? Who knows. Bockwurst is also available all over Germany, Currywurst was developed at a food stand in Berlin (still exists today), which is decidedly NOT in Bavaria. I'll spend some more time making regular sausages (made some great Nuremberg ones) before investing in a commercial grade machine, but I do want to make Weisswurst eventually, my all time favorite sausage. So one of these days, I'm sure a box with one of those machines will show up here too. In Germany they call them Kutter, they look different, a round ring shaped bowl that rotates and fast moving knives are horizontal under a lid cutting the meats, but works the same. I always wondered if Kutter is just a Germanification of the English word cutter? You can buy Kutterhilfsmittel to make sausages, I think they include emulsifiers and curing salt? I bought some when I was over there this summer, but haven't had a chance to work with them.

LOL Probably. In America the unit is called a Buffalo Chopper. Go figure

Fantastic lesson for us all. Are there different methods to attain emulsification? How did they do it in the old days? Thanks again. Peace!

Curry Wurst! Love it!

Thanks for another great video Eric! Question: I see you using Potato Starch as a binder. Do you find Potato Starch as good as high heat non-fat dry milk? Thank you

Hello Eric. Do you have a video on how to sharpen the blades of a food processor please?

Looks like a winner or wiener either way it sounds good! Wouldn't you think "Bockwurst" would be Chicken? I thought for sure this would have Beer in it after the intro. These should be some nice links. I like all beef Hot Dogs but if it's good that's all that matters.

As I do not have commercial grade food processor could I just double grind with smallest grinder plate to get close to the emulsification?

What commercial food processor. Do you suggest.

Hi Eric. The robot food processor.... how much meat is the maximum would you recommend. I really want to buy an Alaska bowl chopper but there so expensive. What's the best alternative? We do 250kg a day of sausages... But can't make emulsified sausage yet. Looking to try this out for some of are special customers. Thanks

Binders by their nature dilutes the flavor of your product. Can we use different fat and eliminate any 'binder' component of any of our recipies?

I was wondering if you could explain why you need to do a different smoking method for this recipe? Why is it so important to not dry out the casing like we do in the other smoked sausage recipes?

Great recipe, are you going to do a knockwurst recipe?

Can we use Corn Starch instead of Potato Starch

What about adding dry ice instead of ice We did that at the meat factory I worked for in Enid Oklahoma

triple grinding it on a very small plate will make a nice sausage

I don't think I've ever actually had any bockwurst. I've never made anything emulsified, I need to work on that.

Is there a way to work out how much casing is required to accommodate the weight of meat or is that a stupid question, sorry? just an enthusiastic beginner here.

how did you check internal sausage temp of 130? Meat thermometer?

If your food processor doesn't have a strong motor, it's only a matter of time that it'll burn out. In that case I would just grind the meat and fat 4 times on a very small plate (3mm) and enjoy the sausage that way.

Hi Eric, I'm wondering about the water inside the smoker..dont do this, why? The result of the ready product, the colour. When I do Bockwurst or the smaller "vienna sausage", it is very important, that the saussage is outside DRY! So here my way> stuffed sausage hanged in the smoker, heater (electric) set on100F,that dries them very easy. use fan like below too.after aproxm 1h add smoke, the smoke boxes like you used are making less smoke, therefore I'm using a little smoker inside the smoke box and heat em up with indirect airblow from an old PC fan. Result..dry Bockwurst and a huge amount of smoke for 30min to 1h. depends what colour you prefer.The butcher here always use fan inside for even colouring, and they use a lot of smoke After all, the Bockwurst each mm in diameter 1min to cook in 170F preheated water and lightly salted!! add ons like left overs from the stuffer are welcome too. Prevents of loosing taste, out of the pot and chill it in ice cold water, can be frozen in vacuum for later instead of corn or potato starch use some with redden..makes the wurst more pink, taste will be the same regards from bavaria,germany andreas

Can somebody please explain the concept of “Protein Extraction” and why it’s important?

@2guysandacooler

9 ай бұрын

When you add salt to meat, the salt extract proteins from the meat called myosin and actin. These are called Salt soluble proteins. As you mix the meat and agitate the meat more of these proteins are extracted causing a glue-like matrix to be formed between the fat, the proteins, and the water. The end result is a very sticky batter. The finer the meat particle the more protein can be extracted and the better the cohesion between the different particles in the meat.

@SakhrHendawi

9 ай бұрын

@@2guysandacooler Thanks for the clarification. Just to make sure I understand correctly, it has to do with the properties of the mixture and to help the particles cohere together, and not something to do with adjusting the quantity or quality of the protein itself or its benefits to the human body?

Why would anyone make at home this wurst is beyond me. Adding fat and water ( ice ) plus phosphate to a perfect 100% red meat is crazy. The company do it because after selling the red meat they are left with trimmings and fat that nobody will buy. That is why they make many different sausages that are almost the same meat, just different spices. It is a way to maximize the profit per unit of pig, cow, chicken... I have been in the business long enough and done everything. The food industry spend billions to find way to sell us more fat and sugar products and the results are obvious. Have a nice day
