Bratwurst?

T-47

I know its a simple thing to be cooking, but for you eggmasters...what temperature would you grill bratwurst at? Do you use a grill extender? Hey Smoke and Beers, you ever by from Uli's Famous Sausage at the Pike Place Market? Nice people and great sausage.

T-47,[p]I do everything backwards (which explains all the traffic violations) including brats.[p]I grill them first, generally direct but sometimes not, then soak them in a pan of beer in the egg. I think the cheaper the beer, the better. As long as you watch them there's no wrong way of grilling them. I'm in the neighborhood of 325 or so...[p]I like doing the beer bath last as you can fish them out as you need them and they really seem to carry the flavor. [p]RE

T-47,
I can recommend the recipe in dr bbq's book. Did them last night and they were great. I'd recommend using 1/2 bottle of bear vice the whole thing. Takes too long to reduce, and the onions almost disappear.
Cheers, Bob

T-47,
Now you did it. I gotta cook up some brats. A little beer for the brats, a little beer for the cook, a little more beer for the cook.......
Hey, it's a hot day up here and a lumber jack needs his liquids. Oh yeah, after simmeren I'll grill direct 325 dome for grill marks then it's back in the hot tub for the brats.

Tractor,
Yep they do, I think if you check out the link it has instructions. And thanks for all the help everyone, I will give them a nice beer bath in some Redhook ESB prior to going on the grill. Got the Kraut heating up, and some grilled onions to top them off with.

Tractor,
Hey they came out awesome, and everyone had two. I grilled two onions in butter on the stove, when they were nice and brown I added two bottles of Redhook ESB and then dropped in the 6 Thuringer Rostbratwurst for a 20 minute bath. I then took them aout and put them on the grill with the Fresh Spanish Chorizo and the Fresh Hot Italian's. I really think the simmer in beer and onions added to the flavor, I will do that agian.
Thanks again all for suggestions.

I do mine Wisconsin style. I steam them first in beer, a 12 oz bottle of beer will steam for about 25 minutes. Then I grill them, direct, generally at 350 - 400 for about 5 minutes per side, turning once. Then, back into beer in a slow cooker on low heat. Take em out as you want to eat, They're hot, juicy and have a great snap to them when you bite through.

For those of you who don't imbibe, the cooking process burns off all the alcohol so you need not be 21, or more, to eat.

Enjoy
