So I’ve always wanted to try brats and today was the day. My wife and I enjoy brats at all times of the year. The local store makes homemade brats which are fantastic, but $8.50 for 4 of them.
I took out 13 pounds of venison and 12 pounds of pork butt, got the Bearded Butchers Jalepeno Cheddar Brat kit and gave it a whirl. Definitely a learning curve, as you can see. Bearded butcher has a YouTube video about making brats and they said to pinch the ends rather than twist them.
Mine aren’t the prettiest out there, I definitely overstuffed the first half of the batch. But man! They taste great! We now have 97 brats to enjoy and definitely saved some money, compared to the local store! I’ll be bringing a few packs on my bear hunt in 5 weeks!
