Tailgate Recipes: Beer Brats

[@michaelheiss4456]

I used the cheapest beer I could find and it was excellent , brats came out so darn good . I saved the good beer for my belly . Thanks for the recipe !

[@meatcranium4280]

I don’t drink alcohol so I don’t have a dog in that fight. Lol. Thanks for commenting

[@obijuankenobi420]

​@@meatcranium4280Sorry to hear that

[@groceryboy5788]

From a guy born and raised in Wisconsin, your method is different. Never seen sugar added. But it all made sense when I heard you say you hate mustard. Something different to try! Thanks for the tip.

[@bumblebee623]

Wisconsin has the worst food iv ever had. Their beer brats are always dry and nasty. I tell people to never visit or eat in Wisconsin unless they like hepatitis A and human feces

[@Amigo4evr]

right. I was going to comment on adding sugar, but thanks for explaining..

[@davidbowles7047]

I must try this! Love your channel since way back when I bought a Highland. Been a Dolphins fan since 1972.

[@obijuankenobi420]

After about 100 Beer Brat Recipe videos.....I chose yours, this is how I pictured it in my head.....im adding sauerkraut tho....thanks man !

[@meatcranium4280]

lol! Thanks! I do appreciate it

[@alexherman1987]

I got my Branco Smoker because you made it seem like the best smoker for the money and it’s true. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I wonder when they will invent smell-o-vision. It's long overdue. As for mustard, I do like it, but to each their own. Those beer brats look so good. Cheers, Chris! ✌️

[@meatcranium4280]

I would pass on watching tv programs of landfill sites, and dead rotting corpses, lol. Thanks for the support and commenting

[@cr8ivedestruction]

After searching around this is the best video I've seen and I'm going to try this. Question.... are there different types of beers that work best for flavor?

[@meatcranium4280]

Dark Beers work best.

[@avijoeyblackmore2579]

Go Gators 😃 love how you cooked them brats.

[@meatcranium4280]

Thanks mane. I love them like that. So Good. Go Noles!! Even though we suck I still support them 100%

[@ThrashTillDeth83]

Never tried cooking them like that. Looks frikin tasty!

[@meatcranium4280]

That is truly the best way snd the flavors pop. Thanks for the support and commenting.

[@dutchvelcamp5425]

Thank you for this. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and missed everything

[@JoshandBabe]

Nice Beer Brats!!!! Glad to see a new video from you. I bet those smelled sooooooo good. I like a little mustard. lol. Looked fantastic.

[@meatcranium4280]

I am in the minority of people that hate mustard, I know very few people that don’t like it. Life has been hectic and videos sit in my camera for weeks now until I can edit them. Thanks for the support and commenting.

[@stevelitteral]

Good lookin' Brats. I need mustard. Congrats on 17K😎👍

[@meatcranium4280]

Yeah , I can’t do the mustard thing. Yuck 🤮. Lol. Thanks for the support and commenting

[@tomlavin1603]

Happy Holidays, miss your great videos.

[@brad4527]

Nice job as always BRO!

[@kazcnepj]

If you leave the skin on it’s a good idea to poke small holes in the brat so the beer can get into the middle of the sausage.

[@papah7398]

I always enjoy your vids and your point of view on different products. I have not seen any new material from you later and just wanted to say I trust all is well and hope you will be put out new content very soon. Take care my man...Later.

[@pnwflyfisher7699]

Looks awesome. Also try Red Hook ESB for the beer. The hops ad an amazing flavor and aroma.

Fins Up! Awesome tailgate recipe. There's extra time to drink more beer while waiting for the liquid to reduce! 😂🔥🌭🍻

[@meatcranium4280]

That is very true, however I do not drink alcohol anymore, so it’s MtDew time for me. Lol. Thanks for the support and commenting

[@michaelbower85]

Got a tail gate next week and I really want to make this. But, I won't have a full size charcoal grill. I will have a mini propane tail gate grill. Any suggestions?

[@oldrustycars]

Draught is pronounced "draft". Not "drought" like when we don't have enough rain.

[@ImpulseScooterTeam]

Started cooking 5 Brats. Finished with 4 Brats. Gotta have Mustard

[@meatcranium4280]

I’m thinking about making some today

[@kevinwelsh212]

Everything ok enjoyed your videos

[@meatcranium4280]

I’m going to do a live three or four weeks and let everybody know what’s going on. maybe sooner

[@lesterjones9335]

I was with you till you added the sugar. What size pan are you using?

[@meatcranium4280]

Sugar balances everything out so nicely though. The pan is a Lodge no3 8cf, not sure what that means however it’s 10.25 inches wide and 5inches deep. Thanks for the support and commenting.

[@lesterjones9335]

@@meatcranium4280 thank you. I have been looking for a deeper cast iron pan. The one you was using seems just about the size i need. Not to big not to small.

[@dutchvelcamp7844]

[@jaymo6888]

Mustard is a MUST.

[@handcannon1388]

Those look great. You know, I've even started using small sub rolls or Ballpark brat buns for coney dogs. I'm not sure why bakeries can't make them big enough anymore to contain meat and a pile of toppings too. It has been awhile since I dropped by your channel as I have been busy with Brandon's Post-Apocalyptic Bizarro-World. How did your job hunt turn out? It seems like there would be a lot going on in one of the few states in what is left of America.

Hey my man, where did you go, love your videos and no content. Hope you are doing ok.

I’m learning a new editing software. My old editing software crash. So I have made a couple of short videos, check those out. Thanks for watching and support.

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Where have you gone?

[@meatcranium4280]

Life has been a little bit rough. I had to get another job paying me 1/3 of what I used to make, so I have to work side gig jobs for extra money, and my editing software crashed so I can’t edit any more videos. I’m trying to learn Adobe Premiere Pro to get back to it. I make 2 shorts with the new software but I’m definitely not confident enough to make a long form as of yet.

[@mhammer5]

​@@meatcranium4280 I was wondering too how you were doing. Thanks for letting us know. My best videos I like that you have done are about the SNS. I never had a full filled feeling about the product when I saw it before your videos. Not thrilled with the guy who made it, he seems smug. When I started grilling and smoking in 1968 we used a kettle grill that was not a Weber. The unique thing about this grill was that the top and bottom were identical in shape. The sides of the lower section of the grill were banked at an angle that allowed you to place charcoal briquettes on an angle much better than a Weber and the end result a SNS as a separator would not ever have to be used. I used to bank charcoal on each side and then I had a narrow porcelain enameled tray from Sears that fit on the rim where the grill grate would go. The grill was porcelain also. With charcoal banked on each side and the tray in the middle this allowed us to collect juices from smoking a rolled roast. Since the temperature was low enough the juices in the tray never burned, in fact the juices had a clear appearance. These juices were concentrated beef flavor so much so that dad would make killer beef gravy for roast beef sandwiches. Back then this was in Indiana which is kind of a corn belt so we would go down to the CO-OP and they were free we would fill up brown grocery bags full of dried brown corncobs from the CO-OP elevators. They were piled outside of the elevator. These corncobs soaked in water placed on the charcoal was a substitute for hickory wood chunks. Glad to hear you are doing okay, family is priority one. By the way my dad was raised in Mount Dora.

[@Weezulguy]

Lost me at hate mustard. Try grilling the veggies a bit before you throw them in the pan, and butter up the rolls before ya grill em

[@mhammer5]

I am with you, that bun for the Brats is begging for mustard. For me I would probably go with a brown spicy horseradish mustard. No mustard is like a pizza without pizza sauce or a Gyro without Tzatziki sauce.

Two small guinness beers in Costa Rica: $7. I'm too cheap.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Looks great! I like mustard the stronger the better, Dijion, Spicy Brown, Creole, etc. The Brats looked great. However, you put five brats in the beer onion mixture yet only pulled four brats out to grill and char up. Why? Was that intentional, or did you just forget about the last one? You never mention why you wanted to not grill the fifth one. Five went in only four came out. Please explain this FSU math to me. Forgetting about it is certainly understandable and forgivable. Maybe someone in your household didn’t want theirs grilled. You left me hanging dude! The whole second half of the video I was left wondering in suspense about what happened to the fifth brat.
