Shiner Brauts

MattBTI

Made myself a batch of beer brauts yesterday. I followed this recipe: http://saucissonmac.blogspot.com/2011/10/oktoberfest-brat.html?m=1

I followed the method with a few exceptions. Obviously I scaled the recipe to the amount of meat I was working with. I also changed the order of some of the ingredients when mixing in. 1st grind I used the coarse plate. Mixed in spices and beer after that. Second grind through a finer plate then mixed the powdered milk in. I find that it gets very sticky once the powdered milk is added so I save that for last. Stuff, link and refrigerated overnight to dry casing links. Separate links, freeze for half a day or so then vac pack.

Nice looking work there. 

When I was a wee lad, I used to help my old Italian Uncles make home made Italian sausages....with a Hand Cranked Grinder....VERY old school.  I was the hand cranker(if you'll pardon the expression).  They would tell me when to start and when to stop as they filled the casings at the other end.  Sometimes, something would get stuck in the grinder and I would be requested to crank backwards.  This would go on for hours as we made a couple hundred sausages.  Probably violated a Child Labor Law or two...
