    Joe Hell Probably depends on the beer and personal taste buds. If I did a light beer, I’d definitely do more than if I did a double/triple IPA or barrel aged stout or something else heavy. I’m sure we’ll do some testing here in the next couple weeks and we’ll have a recipe and guidance to put out there.

    Austin I’ve found that anything more than 450 ml on a 22 lb batch will start ‘leaking’ within 24 hours. Carrot Fiber could fix that though.

      Joe Hell yeah, that would be weird. I don’t think it should “leak”. We’ll definitely have to test a few amounts and see what happens, but yes, Carrot Fiber should fix that.

        Austin I’ve also found that with the heavier. malty beers that less is more. Something like a scotch heavy style is overpowering.

          Austin Unless you are going to force me with the threat of losing my job I will not be using an IPA (as they are the most disgusting of all beers) I will be using something like newcastle. However…maybe the play here is a split batch? Try some with your flower beer (IPA) and some with real beer? See how many times the real beer one is better?!

          Joe Hell You use the Space dust IPA, right? Is that better than the voodoo ranger? IVERYAN We will get this run in the next week or so, I’ll pop up a post on it to let you know how it went and then do a full video a few weeks later.

            @Jonathon- I understand not liking IPA’s. I dont care for them myself. That being said, the hoppy/fruity profile from the IPA mixed with the haberno/mango is intriguing to me. As far as Newcastle goes, I find it to be fairly bland, and I question whether much flavor will come through. I like your idea of trying some batches with a couple of different beer styles. I suggest a contest, and if you lose, you have to drink the leftover IPA’s on a livestream.

              Jonathon I haven’t had the Voodoo Ranger but I’ll look around for it. I expected the Space Dust to overpower the brat as it is quite hoppy…that wasn’t the case at all. The beer has a citrusy hops profile and despite the strong bitter character I didn’t notice that coming through into the finished product. I used another local brewed IPA with the Chicago brats and it turned out very well! That sausage was a huge hit at the local pizza place and the brewers were thrilled to partner with us. Everyone involved sold a boat load of product that day!

                Jonathon I would definitely try the Voodoo Ranger since that is a sausage out there already. Would be interesting to side by side compare. I’m not a huge fan of trying Newcastle, because like IVERYAN said, it is a fairly bland beer in my opinion.
                Joe Hell Space Dust is a great beer! I would definitely put that on my list to try in a brat!

                  Austin I heard about New Castle long before I had a chance to try it and was looking forward to it. It was boring. I don’t understand the hype. I think I’ll grab a sixer of the Voodoo today. I’m offering Jambalaya brat and Andouille at the shop this weekend. I think Voodoo brats would help keep the Mardi Gras theme rolling nicely!

                    Joe Hell New Castle is for people weaning themselves off of Bud Light!
                    That said, it is good for quantity drinking

                      glen I just ran to the store for the Voodoo Imperial IPA. Holy crap, that was expensive! It came to $23 after tax for a 12 pack…OUCH!

                        Joe Hell looks like you got the imperial. Per New Belgiums website there are several versions. I think the brat company is using the standard ipa. Fyi- the imperial is 9% abv, 70 ibus & 250 calories. 🤣🤣

                          IVERYAN I had the choice of the standard IPA with an abv of 5% at $10.99/6-pack or the 9% Imperial for $21.49 for the 12. I figured at nearly double the alcohol it was the bigger bang for the buck and my only option!

                              IVERYAN I’ve got a few varieties of food service purees (Perfect Puree of Napa Valley) to play around with too. I’ll pair that with some smoked Habanero for a good kick of heat!

                                Hey Austin & Jon-I came across this new commercial brat being marketed. This looks like it would be fun and maybe easy to replicate. I am curious what your thoughts are on this. Thanks. https://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2020-02-14T00:34:00-08:00&max-results=15#.XkgGQ2W0bn8.link

                                IVERYAN I just made a test batch of Smoked Habanero & Caramelized Pineapple ‘Voodoo’ brats and they turned out excellent! The pineapple added a slight sweetness and a great aroma. The acid didn’t start to break down the meat but it may have been on the cusp. Next time around I’m bumping the spice big time. Here is the recipe for 11 lbs.

                                11 lbs. ground pork
                                100 grams kosher salt
                                30 gr. Dried organic minced roasted garlic
                                7 gr. Fresh ground black pepper
                                11 gr. Red pepper flakes
                                10 gr. Dried parsley
                                10 gr. Dried chives rings
                                10 gr. Toasted fennel
                                3 gr. Ground smoked habanero
                                250 ml Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA
                                4 oz. Perfect Pureé Caramelized Pineapple.

                                    PapaSop I was hoping for melt your face heat but these are more of a slow burn. The next batch I will double the habanero.

                                      Joe Hell Looks like a recipe I’ll be trying.
                                      Did you add the Pineapple at the very last and heat process immediately?

                                        Gotta admit I was on edge about the Habanero until I stopped at Peasant Fest and tried that with the ghost pepper cheese. Very good but suprisenly not as hot as I’d thought it’d would be. Double it??? Can’t wait to hear.

                                          glen I mixed all of the wet/dry ingredients and let meld for about 15-20 minutes, mixed with the meat block until it starts to get a bit sticky and then case.
