Wisconsin Brats

[NePaSmoKer]

Decided to do the Wisconsin brats for these butts.

Boston butts i got at a meat mkt yesterday.



Cut n ready for grindage  ;D



Secret receipt wisconsin brat mix  :D



No i dont freeze the meat. I keep the neck of my grinder cold.



Adding the brat mix here. Since these are fresh sausage i had to taste the mix. I taste raw.



In the bowl overnight so it all comes together. In the morning before stuffing i will taste again and add more mix if needed.

Getting the KC ready for stuffing brats today.

I told my wife that i cant stuff in the rain and need to use the KC inside today.

Silence 1001....1003....1011

OK BUT ITS YOUR MESS..........DOH  :o

I was using Pam for the O rings/piston but was finding that the Pam was getting sticky. So i went with Crisco which seems to be better. No you will not taste it.



While getting the KC ready i rinsed and soaked my casings.



Got the brat mix out and tasted. As i thought no extra seasoning needed.



Re mixed the mix and now ready for stuffing.



Mix in the tube.



I pushed the mix down into the tube with the push rod and i have around 3 lbs that didnt fit.



Got all my connections tight (THIS TIME  :D)  Bulk head and front screw on. I'm using tall cooling racks to elevate the stuffer.



Water catch for the rear vent.



I cut down a few of the tubes to make em smaller. Here is on i cut with the casing on ready to stuff. The cooling racks under the stuffer give just the right height so i can stuff right into the meat lug.



Oh yeah.....BRATS



Time to put the rest of the brat mix in the main tube.



Twisted. Now time to clean up some before bagging.



Cut into lengths for bags.







Top freezer getting full.

I wished that I would have gotten that mixer to you sooner. I had to make another as one of my local customers bought the last one on the spot. I now have a second one built so I will be sending it with lump's stuffer.

Nice looking fresh sausage.
That freezer looks like it is outside, address?

I think the next thing you need is a walk-in freezer.

[pikeman_95]

Give him time and I think he would fill it ;D ;D

[pensrock]

His neighbor will find him one for free.  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Rick did you happen to add a can of beer to the brats? 1 can per 5 lbs is the ratio I use.
