    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
      Im not sure that this link goes directly to the correct post. You may have to scroll down a little bit to find.

      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.

            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.

                  Joe Hell Thanks, I thought the citric acid would “bleach” the meat
                  Maybe has to do with the pineapple being caramelized

                    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 Did you guys ever experiment with the voodoo? I was lucky to get a couple to share with family as they sold out so quick. I was going to make a variation on this recipe this morning.

                        Jon tried to get some but we were sold out here. I don’t know if he has tried making a sausage himself yet that is comparable. I’m out of the office this week, so I’ll let Jonathon chime in with his plans there.

                          IVERYAN None that I can remember. It was the same for the Elysian Space Dust. I was initially reluctant to use it with concern that the bitterness would overpower but surprisingly that was not the case.

                            Austin I made another batch of voodoo this morning for the shop and used 4 oz. of a Mandarin-Tangerine concentrate from Perfect Puree of Napa Valley. This time I doubled bumped the ground Habanero to 8 grams. These had a good lingering heat that stuck with me for about 30 minutes but it still wasn’t overpowering, nor did I break a sweat. The concentrate had a similar ‘sweetness’ and character as that of the caramelized pineapple. The company has many flavors to chose from and I’m excited to experiment with many of them. These concentrates are similar in ratio to store bought frozen drink mixes so that is something to consider. Obviously you would want to avoid the more acidic choices…lemon, lime, grapefruit, etc…

                                    Jonathon I was skeptical about using a bitter IPA but for some reason it works. Did you use the recipe I posted or another variation?
