- Thank you for watching my authentic homemade bratwurst video. On this video, I make my all time favorite sausage, the German bratwurst. This recipe is a very special recipe as it's the original recipe from the Sausage Shop right here in El Paso TX. Growing up, we'd always have sausages at our cook outs and my cousin Miguel recently turned me on to their original recipe.
If you all are ever in El Paso, please stop by the sausage shop and load up on their amazing sausages. Tell them Smokin' Joe sent ya!
Thank you for watching

Joe...I was born and raised in Germany, I'm half German. And you SIR have knocked this out of the park! Tell your cousin thank you from the old dude from just north of Raleigh, NC. Cannot wait to try your recipe.
Thank you so much 👍
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ A Martinez making bratwurst, funny stuff, but hey if it is good it is good. Who cares? There's these two guys in California that worked for a bowling alley restaurant that make great Mexican food, and one day this guy wanted to complement the cooks, and when he saw them he said this cannot be, all I saw are dos Okies. They've now started their own Mexican restaurant and, naturally enough, called it Dos Okies.
My next two sausage projects are boudin, and bratwurst. Thanks for the instruction vid.
I can share my Boudin recipe if you are interested.
Love the traditional take. Outstanding job
For extra depth take the sauerkraut and toss it in a scalding cast iron skillet and get a little char going.
So good.
There should be thin sliced onions and kraut in that simmering beer. The onions and kraut is then served over the brats.
@@epistte awesome tips. tnx
Oh man! I was stationed in Germany for 6 years and those look awesome! I miss the brotchen (German hard roll) and senf (German mustard) with the bratwurst. I will try this recipe!
Joe, thanks so much for all your recipes.Learn a lot from your channel.Keep up the great work
Hard to beat that! Looks great!
Yes sir. Thanks for watching buddy, hope all is well. 👍
My son has a BBQ business in SoCal and he's into fusion sausages. But personally, brats are my all-time favorites. I'm going to make a batch of this and see how it sells. Thank you!
Definitely going to try this one Joe, Looks fantastic bro!
Way cool backstory Joe. Here at home we are blessed with an old German community and delicatessens. Our favorite sausage is Rempel's Mennonite Farmer sausage. I figured that you have never had sausage like this, but after hearing about your history and cousins business, you have tasted the real deal. Texas has a strong German influence. I watched the YT video - The Sausage Shop "The Hernandez Take Over" They are a lovely couple. Thanks to them for sharing. Now pass the BratDogs! (nice oompah, oompah music track btw)
Awesome that you’re back!
Simple and delicious thanks Joe
That’s a great looking brat, when I was stationed in Germany I lived in a small village Frankenthal, one of the Gasthous used to serve me brats like a rueban, I am not sure if it was thousand islands or some home made sauce but I loved it and have never been able to recreate it
Fantastic Job Joe! These are outstanding, talk about some flavor! Red to wash that down with a cold one also 🍻🤣. Thanks for sharing this video and glad to see you posting! Cheers brother 🍻
Authentic Homemade Bratwurst , my grandparents never measure anything lol eggs and whole milk. and mace. awesome job joe.
Thanks Scott 👍
Always enjoy your videos Joe, I'm a huge fan, I love grilling, I consider myself pretty good
Thanks for sharing, Joe! I'll have to try the bratwurst. I have a recipe, but this one sounds like it's worth trying. And man, tablespoons aka, volumetric measuring for sausage is fine as long as your pork butts or whatever meat is the exact weight as the recipe, but it falls hard on its face if you have a different amount of meat. Weight, and grams are absolutely superior for a consistent product with whatever amount of meat you may have.
For those who may be curious about the eggs. The egg functions as a binder. They add extra protein. That's why it's a good binder. You'll see some German sausages call for heavy whipping cream for the same reason, a binder.
That was a really cool story that you started with!
Amazing looking sausages. Sauerkraut is a perfect pairing with sausage. Cheers, Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Just finished seasoning a batch and about to stuff them. Fried a taste tester with my homemade kraut to top the patty.. fantastic!
Thanks Joe
Bro that Brawurst looks crazy delicious thanks for sharing the recipe. I spent sometime in Germany with my parents in the late 70s early 80s and yes their Brawurst are fantastic. Cheers!🍻
These look amazing !
Thank you.
I always add some pico de gallo along with the sauerkraut and some pickled jalapenos. To me that is a near perfect Texas dog. You have to drown it in Texas red to be perfect. Great video!
Sounds delicious 😋
Looks great Joe. At what point in the process can we freeze for preservation? I assume after boiling, but want your input.
you can definitely do it before or after boiling. If you’re vacuum sealing them raw , freeze them first as the meat will come out of the casing…ask me how I know.😃
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ Lol, got ya and makes sense. Thanks Joe
Those look pretty delicious, I'm going to have to try your recipe. I spent half my life living in Germany and I go back every so often. One of the first things I look for when I go are the authentic German sausages. Can't beat 'em. Also, I like your kitchen shears, they look to be all metal construction. Do you have a link to them where they can be purchased? Thanks and have a blessed day!
I will most definitely try this recipe out. I did make bratwurst in the past but the recipe contained marjoram and it was emulsified sausage that i simmered up to a certain temperature and then cooled down and put away.. i did notice loss in flavour after simmering tho and thats the thing that bothers me.. ill give this one a try. Thank you for sharing. 👍
I love bratwurst! Great video!
Me too. Thanks for watching William. 👍
Looks soooo good joe! Can you post the ingredients and measurements?
Love the tattoo of your logo
3,2,1, LETS Sausage!!!!
I make a smoked pork sausage that I've been making for over 40 yrs
I was born and raised in Germany. There arent eggs in the typical german Bratwurst. If you want i can sent some recipes for German Bratwurst.
I'm sure there are different recipes but yes, send the recipes over. 👍
Thought these were polish
I would love to have a few German bratwurst recipes. I saw your reply to a video where you offered Joe some recipes. I hope I’m not out of bounds asking
Put some Rotella In with the beer it's good
Will regular 15-40 work or does it have to be synthetic?😁
Need some brotchen and mustard...that's all
German bratwurst are mainly boiled in water and served not grilled, I'm German and my family tree goes back two hundred years
I lived there for a few years. You buy them on the street and they are grilled, served in brotchen with a slather of mustard.
How much porkbutt ? Thanks
@SmokinJoesPitBBQ I believe you should stick to your way of measuring for accuracy and the ability to replicate a recipe. Percentages and grams are the best way to reproduce a product day in and day out.
Wpildove some real measurements for the ingredients. Either metric or American...never did percentages!
Enjoy all of your sausage recipes. Thank you
Can't wait to try this! thanks for posting. Question, how long does the ring around the plunger last? do you take it off and clean it every time (I'm new at this). and do they sell spares ? Sorry, just seems like cleaning it and putting it on and off would eventually break it? thanks again
It's silicone so it should last a long time. I'm not sure if they sell replacements.
Well done, looks just like in Germany 👍👍 Greetings from Baden
Thanks for watching my friend 👍
Glad to see you are still posting. Sad you had to give up your food truck biz but I'm still here supporting you.
I reopened my food truck buddy. March 1st. 🤘
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ oh good
Looks terrific. I am using this recipe next time I make Brats. Thank you Joe
...Brother Smokin Joe, Thank you for this recipe & cooking lesson... I was in the Bavarian Alps during my Army tour (Wertheim) & just loved it there...Artist, Old Naples Florida🌴🎨
Oh my lord! That looks fantastic! Btw, that equipment is Cadillac level.
Thanks Jay!🤘
You know what would have made this video better?.. if you would have announced at the end, "im gifting the Yoder & the G2 to Randy...😂". Great video Joe!..
It is still a Bratwurst even in the bun ,I spent 10 yrs of my life over in Germany
Hey Joe viele Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, die Würste kannst du auch Roh auf dem Grill machen sie sind super lecker vielen Dank fürs Video weiter so.
Thank you Frank. 👍
Wow, I always thought there was some chicken breast in German Brats because they were always white and mild tasting. Thank you I will be making this recipe!
I suggest avoiding hoppy beer for cooking. The bitterness gets concentrated in the food, and it's not good. Any traditional lager like Lone Star should be great... but save the IPAs for the glass. 🍻
I hear the cheese heads coming! Im from Chicago and love heading to Wisconsin for brats!
Do they ship sausage?
I believe they do. My cousin mentioned that they have shipped out. Give them a call. 1 915-565-0994
Looks like Weisswurst- not bratwurst. I wish Americans would actually go to Germany or at least learn what ‘bratwurst’ really is…
Show us how it's done
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ I don’t need to show you- there are plenty of German sausage recipes on the internet. You just need to look outside the US for your content. My personal favourite is Nüremburgers- but there are dozens of German sausages- but they’re not all called ‘Bratwurst’
If you want make German sausages- get a German recipe from Germany 🤷♂️
Here’s my nuremburger recipe give it a go:
For every 1kg of pork (80/20)
18g salt (3tsp)
4g black pepper (2tsp)
1g ground ginger (1/2tsp)
2g ground nutmeg (1tsp)
3g Marjoram (5tsp)
1 tsp lemon zest (3g)
10g milk powder as binder
100ml water
Make them on your channel and tell me what you think….
Appreciate super accurate and neutral use of % in description of amount of ingredients. Love the sausage. Kinda similar to polish eastern white sausage which is my favorite boiled or baked with garlic.
Finally some good weather this weekend here in Germany. Time to grill a few of these! Thanks for the inspiration, always a good day when you post a video!
Great video, I will try eggs next time I make sausages.
For the people that want to do a classic autentic German thing Don't use the potatobread that stuff is unobtainable in the continent of Europe. Use dinnerroll that is widely avaliable. (Not ment as criticism to the video)
can you freeze the brats after you boil them?
Yes but I would freeze them raw instead. You'll have to freeze them and then vacuum seal them after they're frozen.
@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ Thanks made some 2 days ago and they were really good.
i make sausage for hobby usually get my seasonings from Reo's in Huntsville,Tx.
chicken liver gizzard and intestines tasty for me sir also cow tripe and intestines
Can you add the recipe to the descriptions with TBSP, tsp plz? That works best for us here in the US😊
Absolutely not a German Bratwurst recipe (I am 100% German, born and raised)
But it looks good. 👍
Looks delicious, I'll definitely be trying this one. If saving for later, would you freeze them before or after the beer braise?
Brat mit Kraut
I’m born and raised in Texas and my parents moved here from Germany in the 60’s. Definitely going to try this 😋
Oh wow, I bet you're going to love them.
Love your channel, Joe. Thank you for continuing to post content. I've wanted to get into sausage making, have all the equipment, and have been looking for an authentic bratwurst recipe. This fits the bill. Can't wait to try it.
Are your dry ingredient measurements by weight?
I know it's not traditional but my mom can't eat pork. So what cut of beef would you recommend to do this recipe with
I'd like to make this but make patties for burgers,😎👍
I may have to make that 5 hour drive to check out The Sausage Shop!
What is the % weight of egg to meat? Or is it always 6 eggs?
That looks so damn good
They simmer them in Southern Germany and is called white sausage served with chunky Sweet mustard. Brat means sauté. So a bratwurst has to be grilled 😊. And is often served in a bun with Yellow mustard to go. So you did the whole deal!
More grainy, not chunky :)
Hey joe
Both you and your Cousin would be better served by helping him to convert his recipes to metric!!!
He was thought the old school way. 👍
Personally, I poach them all then freeze the extra. That way I don't have to mess with poaching them later and can just thaw and grill them!
That works too. Plus, vacuum sealing them raw squeezes the meat out of the casing. 👍
Great recipe here. It's very close to one I've been using from an old skool Nürnberg German butcher. Add a little marjoram and you've got authentic Nürnberg / Franken area bratwurst.
Yes indeed. I've got a recipe from a Nuremberg Metzgerei that was in his family of Metzgerei's for over 200yrs. Its very similar to this. Replace the nutmeg with mace, add a touch of lemon zest, and add a good amount of marjoram. Zee Germans would be proud.
Hey Joe, I’m from Wisconsin and at least in my family, we would take the fresh brats and grill them up first. Then you get big pot full of beer and a ton of sliced up onions heated up and make yourself a brat hot tub. After you grill them off, you nestle those bad boys into the beer and onion hot tub and they stay hot and juicy for hours. If you’re having a party, this is the way to go.
That sounds amazing. I'm going to try that. 👍
Joe I live in Oregon...but my brother lives in New Braunfels, I'm going to make this is summer at his neighborhood BBQ cook-off when I come down to visit.
Nice my man. It will be a hit. 🤘
That is bratwurst perfection! Love it👍😊
Thank you Bobbi👍
Is it OK to cook other types of sausages in a beer bath?😊
Absolutely l, you could do this to any sausage
Looks great! I never thought to add eggs but that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the video 🤙
La meilleure des meilleures......
en Belgique , nous ont en raffole.....surtout lors de fêtes en extérieur............!!!!
вы самый лучший повар .
Thank you!
I've used eggs and I've used heavy cream. I've never really noticed the difference between using these as opposed to plain water.
Shout out to a home town guy, EP. But with a german brat you need some german mustard to go with it. Amazon has "German Mustard Düsseldorfer Löwensenf Medium 100g From Germany". This will get you the taste you need. Love the show....
Powdered milk and white pepper.
Lots of bratwurst recipes.
Not a fan of the J Ville ones but I don't hate them either.
I cook mine in fluid at 150 to 160 for about 10 minutes.
Yours look good.
I believe that I will try this Joe. But when I'm finished, I won't be adding sauerkraut as I am not a fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those are your cousins? You must be related in some extent to Chris Perez then! I used to work with him at UMC and he would ALWAYS talk about the Sausage Shop.
Totally Awesome! I so love homestyle German Brats and Thank You for sharing such a treasured recipe! I will have my cooler ready when I go through El Paso towards Phoenix for a stop at your cousin's Sausage Shop on my next trip! Keep up the good work! Gracias mi Hermano! 😊
Visited the Christmas market in Munich and Frankfurt last year. They did actually have a large live fire pit, similar to the Salt Lick. Those look killer can’t wait to try, thanks for sharing!
Joe!!! Awesome video and thanks for the recipe, I will certainly give this one a try!!
These look great. When I simmer my brats, I add butter, onions, and mushrooms to the beer, and simmer on the pit. Then a nice little grilling, and fantastic! I'll have to try the egg binder. Another great video Joe!
So Joe I’m trying to understand if you’re converting everything to grams .4% of Ginger is not for Graham, correct?
Man them looked good Joe, onions and yellow mustard for me please. Cool of your cousin to give you the recipe. On another note, when you, or any UA-camr for that matter, says "the first step" I always continue it with "ask her out and treat her like a lady" 🤣
Thanks Joe! I eagerly await each video to post. You’re the best! And I like how you are ambidextrous with your “See Ya’ “ wave!!!
But the most important question: does your cousin hand you a beer when you walk in the shop? 😂😂 Great video, thanks for sharing!
My next sausage Joe. Looks amazing. Thank you to you and your cousin.
That's as well done of a how to video as I've ever seen. My brother and I got into sausage making about 10 years ago and we bought nice equipment like you have. It was fairly expensive but in the long run you won't regret it.
You’ve been outside a lot wearing a hat haven’t you? My head has the same tan difference 🤣
I live in Tucson, but hopefully can stop by the Sausage Shop on my next trip thru El Paso.
Love your videos Joe. I'm a fellow weenero from California.
