    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!

    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...

    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

    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 buttermaking what we think is a really healthy sausage (HEH HEH.

    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.
