[bratrules]

Well its been awhile since I've posted anything thing. But i have been meaning to so here it is. I had a Oktoberfest party this past weekend at my place so i decide on making Brats. Nothing like Homebrew and Brats to enjoy the night.

I did 10 ten pounds of bratwurst

Sound like a party!! Nicely done!!

 

[humdinger]

Beer, Brats w/ sauerkraut, Cabbage, & Potato Salad?!?!?! Wow, I bet you were a lively bunch the rest of that night!!!! Hopefully this was an outdoor event!

 ;-) haha

In all seriousness that looks great, nice job. I like the little chalk board menu too, reminds me of being at a Gastro-pub and adds a lot of festive character to the event. Thanks for sharing.

Was this a get-together of home brew afficianados?  Looks like you had a good menu besides some good home brew.  I'll drive over next weekend if you plan on doing it again.

 Deanoaz my buddy and i are avid home-brewers so we want to have a get together so people can taste are brews. I i think am going to do it again but till next year lol. And Dutch my recipe is simple. the thing is i never use a recipe i always just eyeball everything. but here is what i put in the Brats. Kosher salt, coarse black pepper, dried thyme, mustard seed, coriander seed, all spice, dried bay leaves, onion power, dried marjoram, and 2 whole eggs and also 1/2 of milk just to bind it all together. I'll try to get measurements to i can put them up. Once again thanks for all the great comments.

What's you're favorite brews; porters, IPA, barley wine (yum, yum!), lager, etc?  I spent 10 years in the Portland, OR area, sampling every micro-brewery I could find.  Really enjoyed it.

Those brauts look great I have not made any myself yet but its on my list to try.

I'm surprised that there is no mace or nutmeg in your recipe. They look really good.

That's why i used all spice. and i not a big fan of nutmeg lol i like the flavor of all spice to me it seem a lot more mellow.

I enjoy all kinds of brews. But am a big fan of lagers!!! Lagers from all walks of life lol.
