Bratwurst

[bill ace 350]

Been quite some time since I made some sausages other than summer sausage/ground sausage.

Ordered some casings from Syracuse casings, will grab some pork from the commissary today.

Saw a recipe on YouTube that I liked:

1.3% Salt
.6% Black Pepper
.1% Ginger
.4% Nutmeg
Eggs

Plan on a +- 10 pound batch.

Next Saturday will be 14 days for my Pop's/Bearcarver Canadian side-by-side, so I will smoke that and make some bratwurst as well..

No right or wrong with a brat formula but BP is no go if aiming at something german. WP for that. 10lbs is ton for me. I'd be doing 4 variations or at least 2 5lb runs. Good luck.

Thanks! I'll recheck the recipe to make sure I'm not going crazy. WP sounds better

Picked up a nice 10.6 pound boneless pork shoulder and 1 pound of ground pork.

Will try the recipe on one pound to get a profile and make adjustments if I think I need to.

Try a pinch of cardamom and a good shot of marjoram. That brings up the flavors my German ancestry wife prefers.
Great recipe at 1.3% salt. I can drop that one to 0.5% for my wife

This recipe is a keeper!

Used white pepper instead of the black....

Can't wait to link some next weekend!

Was delayed.

Anyway, cubed up the pork and calculated and mixed the spices.

Grind and stuff tomorrow.

Pics tomorrow.
