Poaching sausage method

[Bat119]

I did a 8 lb.batch of Coburger Bratwurst for a quick bite while ice fishing was thinking about poaching them before I freeze them what's the best method?
Maybe cover with water, onions and beer in a big oven roaster set oven at 180 until the sausage reach 155?

170° would be better. less chance of the fat melting out.

Your proposed method works well with straight beer and onions, no added water - beer is water.I steam mine in a steamer basket, in a pot,under lid, with water.The only drawback is I can only fit 5-6 at a time.The steam poach seems to cook them very evenly and it's easy to check temp.When finished with a cold water shower in the sink, it yields a nice snap to the casings and a really juicy sausage down the road when seared.

170 it is , I'd like to use straight beer but I live in Canada the cost of enough beer to cover 8lbs of linked sausage is cost prohibitive.

I see you decided on 170 that's good . Now days I SV at 140 .

Hah! I was waiting for someone to complain about beer cost!
Though, the overpriced* Canadian beer is how they pay for their "free" health care.

Nah....we pay much higher income tax too. Life is great!

Move to TN! No state income tax, and the beer is pretty cheap. Health care, not so much!!

I watch my Canadian neighbors house during the summer & he always brings me a couple of cases of Molson that is brewed in Canada. Completely different than the Molson that we get here in the States. I think Coors brews it down here. Just not the same! The real Canadian stuff is awesome!

In the past month I made salami, 3 kinds of jerky, kielbasa, both back and side bacon some polish smokies and Coberg brats if I get a clogged artery the free health care could come in handy if I can survive the two year wait to get it.
