Bratwurst

[Buckmaster]

Made 25lb of bratwurst today used beer brat seasoning on first batch of 12.5 lb…second batch was Chicago brat seasoning… added cheddar cheese to the beer bratwurst. Both batches came out amazing and the taste is great. I favored the beer brat more of course I’m a beer man…but Chicago brat was awesome as well…boiled the brats in beer for few minutes then finished on Traeger… Great stuff …thanks Jonathon for the info and advice on which seasonings to try out… next is blue ribbon and then Habanero…

Buckmaster i have a feeling your gonna love the blue ribbon over any of them however many good ones. I mean it is a best seller for a reason. Wait did i just say that? Jonathon and i have a disagreement on the Bourbon Peppercorn snack stick and Willies which he stated that same quote…lol

[Buckmaster]

Awesome can’t wait until Friday back at it…

Buckmaster actually getting ready to cook up the Gyro brat now

[glen]

Very interested in how the Gyro brat turns out

[Buckmaster]

Gyro huh…sounds d**n good…I bet thats going to be great…

[Buckmaster]

Censored??? for d**n…really…sounds pretty left…lol…

[Buckmaster]

I used the word that stops a lake…lol

The Gyro brats turned out very good, didnt beat the Blue Ribbon in my opinion but none the less a good choice to have if one likes Gyros. I bought two different manufacturers, Excalibur and another one i wont name due to possibly being a competitor of Waltons. The excalibur was a very well balanced flavor, more mild per say. The other brand is a stronger more traditional flavor of the Gyro with a flavorful strong peppery blend. I will be honest and say i prefer the competitors better but both very good. Others like the excalibur better so its a bit of a 50/50 toss up and personal preference. One thing i need to do is do a side by side comparison as i took both companies at 12.5lbs each and made just your typical 80/20 trim pork and the other half i did 72/28 beef and lamb(not sure what ratio lamb was). I had left over beef and lamb so i just made 1/2lb patties and threw em on the weber, BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!

[Buckmaster]

Man that sounds great I have never had ground lamb…I gotta try that…good info on the gyro seasoning thanks…those burgers sound real good.

Topped with red onion, roma tomatoes and the greek yogurt cucumber dill sauce. I would rather make my own authentic gyro sauce but it takes like 4 days to refrigerate for the authentic sauce to get its flavor. I made them with the 35-38mm casing and are too big in the bun with all the toppings so i just cut them in half

[Buckmaster]

Wow !! that looks great…

[Jonathon]

twilliams well, to be fair Buckmaster and I disagree on the Chicago brat as well. though, it is getting to the point where I am thinking I have to try the chicago again. It gets a lot of love for a new seasoning that we dont really push. Buckmaster, did you notice a lemonish taste?

[Buckmaster]

No not at all this Chicago seasoning was great and a favorite to several of us who were trying at the same time Chicago, Habanero and beer brat seasoning… Chicago was a favorite of several folks…just fyi…

[twilliams]

Jonathon i did taste the lemony zip in the Chicago. Not my favorite by far but i liked it, and would make them again, just not my first choice. I made the Supreme pizza as well and now i gotta make it again with your pepperoni trick. It was good before, cant wait to try it with the pepperoni. How many pounds of pepp for 25 lb batch?

[Buckmaster]

I would have to say that my favorite so far is the blue ribbon brat seasoning for sure… but Chicago was good…

[Buckmaster]

I am waiting gyro to arrive looks like Thursday being making those… lots of elk this year to play with lol…
