Oktoberfest Bratwurst

[bacon_crazy510]

Hello all...

It's been a long time since I've posted. Some major life changes happened. I decided to retire from my carrer of 29 years and leave California. I was born there, but "things" got to a point where I needed to make a change. I had an opportunity in Missouri, so my wife and I moved here. She has family here, so it's been a nice transition to midwest life.

I decided to make a 20lbs batch of bratwurst to share...

After stuffing them I let them bloom for a day in the fridge, then vacuum packed them. I grilled up a batch... They are tasty.

A fine looking setup and a really nice looking batch of links, nice work. I also was born in CA, 4th generation. Left for AZ three years ago, no regrets, it's a great place to be from. RAY

Nice sausage.

Born and raised in S, Calif desert, glad we split from there in 93 with the kids.

Where in Missouri? Would love some brats!
I made the move here from the east coast about 10 years ago and haven't looked back!

Nice looking links! Great set up! I like your prep table... And congrats on the carousel ride...good to see some sausages on it!

Fine looking sausage! Congrats on the merry go round and welcome to the Heartland!
Of all the sausages I've made I've never done brats for some reason.
Share the recipe? If it's a family secret I understand
