While I have not tried the brats...I did go for the kraut. First off, the recipe is not how Bobby cooked this on the show. There is too much liquid to expect this to cook off in 20 min. It took over an hour. I watched the show again and would say it looked like about half. Also, to those who said this wasn't sweet enough...he finished with honey (also not in the recipe)
Tantalizing

Have you ever jumped into a 70 degree shaded swimming pool on a 100 degree day at 98 percent humidity after working in the yard for six hours? This was even better than that.
4 Starst....for now

I was home sick when this episode aired, and althought I wasn't feeling great, my mouth was salivating. I plan on making this recipe at my next Chicago Bears tailgating game
German - NOT !

Nobody cooks Bratwurst in beer in Germany. That's from a Bavarian.
Great recipe

This is your traditional beer and brats with the twist of using red-cabbage instead of green for the sauerkraut. This would have probably gotten five stars if the sauerkraut was made with green cabbage. Still an excellent recipe.
Beer selection is key

Very easy to make. Beer selection is the big key. Try different dark beers to find the best taste.

the brats were great, but the cabbage might just be for red wine vinegar lovers, a little over powering.
Good stuff

I can't remember off the top of my head, but I could swear in the Boy Meets Grill episode featuring this brat recipe, that Bobby used fresh UNcooked brats and simmered them in the beer mixture for a longer time...maybe I'm confused. Anyway, that's what I did, UNcooked brats in the beer till they became 'floaters', then grilled. Came out perfect!
I wouldn't believe it!

Now I'm a sauerkraut fan! I guess that's a good thing when your in-laws have German and Austrian heritage... Even my 8-year old daughter liked the sauerkraut! Thanks for the recipe!
the best brats

cannot eat enough times. the very best and only way to eat bratwurst for any true brat lover.
definitely not a substitute for hot dogs

Tried the recipe this past 4th of July as I thought it would be a fancy twist on the old hot dog and I definitely regretted having gone this route! If you are expecting something hot dog-ish, this is NOT it. My husband was not happy, and even though I tried to put on a happy face while trying to eat it, most of my plate as well as most of the food prepared ended up in the garbage.
Bobby has it all backwards!

Here in Wisconsin (brat heaven) we grill the brats first, THEN put them in a beer bath to keep them moist and warm. When you pre-cook brats (or ribs, for that matter) you're cooking the good pork taste out of it. You also NEVER EVER pierce a brat with a fork. Tsk tsk...

This didn't work for me and my family. Maybe because we are of german decent and not used to the strange mix of spices like ginger? Yuck...
Love the Kraut

I never would have thought I'd like this. My parents always used the super-stinky canned stuff when I was a kid. Reuben sandwich days were always dreaded because of the smell. But this is an entirely different thing, in a good way! Fresh and tasty! In response to a previous review- boiling the brats is how they get the flavoring. And German potato salad (in my experience at least) doesn't contain mayo
Sacrilegious!

His heart is in the right place, but you would never, ever use precooked bratwurst. We're lucky in Wisconsin to have almost every butcher shop making their own fresh bratwurst, and some are much better than others. There are also national brands like Johnsonville that make pretty good sausage. We simmer fresh brats in water for about 20 minutes, remove to grill and brown until crisp and then return to pan with beer and onions and let wallow in it until ready to eat. Some even add butter to the final soak. It's like osmosis: most of the pork fat is replaced with the flavor of the beer and onion (and butter)making what we think is a really healthy sausage (HEH HEH).
Totally Awesome!

We love this one!!! I've made it several times now, I even made it for a bunch of Marines, we had over for a day of football. All they could talk about was how good the Brats were!!!
Awesome way to improve your cookout!

I'll admit I've never been a fan of bratwurst, only trying it for family get-togethers as a child. We made this for a family get-together with my own children, and these were better than any hot dog or sausage you could ever cook. I added the caraway seed to regular saurkraut, and it was the perfect complement. Definitely use a good beer (I used an English Brown Ale) and it was perfect.
Tastier than I thought

I have made these brats apx 10 times because my family loves them. I cook the brats per the recipe although I also grill the simmered onions for the brats. To serve I quarter the brats length wise and add 2 thin slices of Monterrey Jack cheese and 1 sliver of dill pickle in the bun topped with the grilled onions. Dark beer is best, I like to use Guiness.
perfect for football games

this was so awesome and i also left the onions in and drained most of the beer and simmered the onions until the brats were done. so tasty.
Outstanding!

There's nothing better than the fragrant wafts of spices and beer and simmering brats--except eating them once they are grilled!

I got two questions from the eaters: Why boil the brats first and where's the mayo in the potato salad? Nobody was complaining while they were shoveling food into their mouths. I didn't make the red kraut, only the brats, bread and potatoes and everything was great. The timing of cooking coordinated well, too, so there wasn't any 'standing around' time in the kitchen.
Won the crowd over.

I especially enjoyed the red cabbage sauerkraut. The Brats were very tasty as well. It is a very simple recipe that can be done ahead of time. Just let the Brats soak in the beer, onion, butter mixture until you are ready to throw them on the grill.
Wonderful!

I made this with turkey bratwurst. It was wonderful! I'm not a bratwurst fan, but I wanted something different. It was easy to make and had a wonderful flavor. Thered cabbage sauerkraut was a good, different. It accompanied the bratwurst well.
Wonderful

Waaaay to vinegar-y! This just didn't make it. Made it to go with homemade brats I made and it overwhelmed the entire meal; neither hubby nor I finished the small amount we put on our plates.
