That's some nice sausage you got there, great job. Good looking set up too. Been trying to move outta Kommiefornia for a long time just haven't been able to convince the wife.

Nice work for sure. Those vac packages look nice, I usually lay my sausage on a cutting board or sheet pan and par freeze them first then vac seal, this keeps them from flattening.

Id be interested in your recipe if you are willing to share.

Excellent brats! Mind sharing the spices you used?
Edit: Nevermind. I see you posted the recipe.

Thank you! I think I have everything needed except the cardamom. I've never seen cardamom in a recipe before, but there are still some things I haven't seen :-). I'll be going with bottled lemon zest, too (I hate zesting lemons).
I'm breaking this down for a 5# batch and will be trying it soon.....

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.

Looking good there. I made some last week myself.
