Thank you! Everyone I know boils the brats in beer and onions, then grills them. To me, that burns off any beer flavor. The way you do it in this video is how I've done it for many moons!
@@Anonomush_orangeswhat?! Of course they still use natural casings in the U.S. I just bought a pack of sausages at the grocery store tonight that have hog casings. You can get gelatin casings or other options and I have seen some companies use them, but natural beef, sheep, and hog casings are still the industry standard.
My mouth is watering now! I throw a stick of butter and some sliced peppers and maybe even some mushrooms in there with the beer and I tend to do the reverse but I think I'm going to try it this way next time. Maybe a side by side to see which I prefer. And since I'm the only one in my house who likes brats, I can have them all to myself. lol
Last time the pork shoulders got under $2/lb, I filled my freezer with Brats and Italian sausages. It saved us a lot of money, and the flavor was outstanding.
You gotta have some sort of Wisconsin connection to know this. This is THE WAY to grill brats. Sometimes I feel froggy and toss a few crushed garlic cloves in with the beer and onions. Do this and you will experience the juiciest, most flavorful brats ever. You are also correct in your assessment of the "pre-cooked" variety. They ARE just this side of hot dogs. I hate 'em.
They'll just be somewhere near the regular bratwurst in the grocery store. The packaging will be labeled "cooked" or "precooked" or something along those lines.
Everyone cooks a little different! I actually made a hotdog rub years ago. Slow cook them .99¢, 8pk, weiners with a rub, and you'll never go back. Side note... 35-40+ years ago that $15-20 grill that now costs $150-200.... Still a $15-20 grill! Our 11yo "found" (in his mind) one of these grills under my parents house, and asked why Papa had "that" expensive grill just sitting... I explained that the design had been around since the 50's that I knew of, and every year we'd go on vacation, Papa would buy one to cook on, and save on the eating bill for the week (feeding 6)... But would leave it at the vacation home for someone else to use, until they burned out. This particular one was for home use. He just decided to keep, because after the 5th time he replaced the charcoal area, he did it with stainless.
NO TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN.. I don't want anyone to know that's how I do it...I actually run a food truck and this is just about how I do it. And they stay juicy all day without drying out. Perfect brats!
Nice, Had some brats in the fridge and I'm doing it... Like now... Thank you! Oh and by the way I was just wondering if you're looking for a really nice boyfriend... Lol. J/k God bless. Peter R But I'm not really kidding.. 🤪
I just found the only 3 ingredient grilling recipe on TH-cam. Can’t beat brats for simplicity, consistent results and flavor. Tailgater’s dream
I do mine the same way but add a couple pats of butter to the beer onion bath. Yumm
Hey Grill Hey, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!

Looks great, super easy and added flavor and moisture …. Maybe a good cook for this weekend! Thanks for the awesome idea!
"Natural casing" sounds so nice. :) Actually it's either pork or sheep gut.
Greetings from Germany.
Gut isn't used in the US anymore. Most casings are made from collagen from the animal.

Try simmering the brats first in beer and onions first. Then take the simmered brats and finish them on the grill to crisp them up.

Very nice cook! They look delicious!

Saw the episode with Steven Raichlen's project fire. That smoked apple crisp was otherworldly!
*Cries in Wisconsinite* No! Boil the brats in the beer and onions. Then finish on the grill. Damnit.
We have a video where we do it that way too.
Another Cheesehead here, do both!
Yyyeeesss! From a flat lander came from west of the big pond. You make my mouth water.
Hi, what is the pre cooked bratwurst called? I wanna buy them but i dont know what they are callled
They'll just be somewhere near the regular bratwurst in the grocery store. The packaging will be labeled "cooked" or "precooked" or something along those lines.
I second that, on the green bell peppers....that's how I usually do it.
Another winner Suzi!
What can you cook them in if you're not a beer drinker?
Good ol' water. You can flavor it with onion, garlic, even boullion. Shallow boil them before searing for a snappy bite was how we grew up eating.
Pretty much any other liquid that sounds good!
Chicken broth adds as much flavor as beer
Hard Apple Cider or if you are avoiding alcohol then Apple Juice. Both are great.
Fresh Brarts are the best!
Thank you
Very nice!!

Raw is the only way to go with brats.
Add green bellpeppers to the braising also.
Absolutely

I want a Hey Grill Hey shirt but I don't want yellow, green or purple. Black or Earth tone please?
Oh and I'm born and raised German Wisconsin and this how to do brats.
Ive never had the skin on my pork sausage break.

Never probe a brat that’s a rookie move you’re better than that.
Under cooked pork fat is nasty. Gotta get up to temp said the pro
No ketchup is a SIN 😂
Maybe some do, but I have never seen a German put anything but mustard on a brat in 2 and a half years there
@@deano.de.relentless770 to each their own 🍻
You're right. Ketchup is a sin.
There is a distinctly high possibility that Todd may very well be the luckiest man alive.
