Ahhh thanks. Surprised that place still up. Aint piddled with it in years. Have had thoughts of getting industrious one of these days and bring it up to date..but since we dont do much comp bbq at this time it seems a little pointless:) Warden say we might be able to hit the comp circuit heavy if I ever get a chance to retire. As it stands now it just too time..labor and money consuming for po folks to piddle with.

Bigwheel's Lonesome Yankee Bratwurst (2003)

10 lbs. boston butt
3 T. salt
1 T. sugar
2 T. dry mustard
1 T. MSG (optional or use less if you want..if you skip it add another T. of salt)
1 T. ground coriander
1 T. ground sage
1 T. paprika
1 T. black pepper
1 T. ground rosemary
2 t. cayenne pepper
2 t. nutmeg
2 cups water or beer or a combo of the two*

Add all spices to liquid. blend and refrigerate. Cut meat to fit grinder. Add spiced liquid to meat and mix well. Grind through fine plate. mix well again. Stuff into medium hog guts. Twist into 5 inch links or therabouts. Refrigerate immediately and freeze any not used within a couple of days.*Beer seems to intensify the flavor of the spices. So if you like a little more pronounced spice flavor use beer.(Budwieser works well). If you like a little blander use water. To split the difference use a cup of each.

Well I have always been a purty good piddler. Unfortunantly that aint a good trait to have on the comp bbq circuit. The winners take it serious. I come to drink and have fun. May not be a good plan for the golden years come to thunk on it:)

We grilled up a bunch of these brats on the gasser for a quicky dinner on Christmas Eve, didn't do the beer bath method. Put'em on split hoagie type rolls with spicy mustard, grilled onions and peppers and a few shots of Texas Pete hot sauce and man where they great!

Thanks again!
James.
