I am possibly going to do some jalapeño popper brats tomorrow and I happened upon some jalapeño pepper flakes at a local grocery store. I got a 1/4 lb and I am thinking of adding the whole thing to a 12.5 lb batch. This isn’t too much is it? And how long do I let them soak in water to rehydrate? I think I read that it is 1 part flakes to 5 parts water for hydration.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72379https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72379Thu, 10 Mar 2022 14:03:06 GMTND Mike I did not attempt cream cheese this time, but I did grill some of the brats and split one lengthwise and put two thin slices of cream cheese in the middle and man was it tasty. Let me know how incorporating it goes. I also added some bacon, but did not cook it. I just froze it and added it to the grind.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72354https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72354Thu, 10 Mar 2022 02:46:57 GMTI always recommend 3-5% REHYDRATED I lean more to the 5%. If you have Jalapeno powder use them both together

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72317https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72317Wed, 09 Mar 2022 19:18:36 GMTYooperDog yep! I bought a package of ends and pieces bacon to add to it.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72292https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72292Wed, 09 Mar 2022 15:56:11 GMTND Mike keep the cream cheese frozen as long as possible or it will break down on you. Peppers are your preference, heat varies with processor, but that does seem a bit high, easier to add then remove. I have made a couple batches using HT cheddar, but would try cream cheese. I also added some cooked bacon and sauteed fresh jalapenos, had some extras in the fridge. We like the seasoning and it is a tough call between these and green hatch chile. I might have to make a batch of each w/o tweaking to find a clear winner.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72247https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72247Wed, 09 Mar 2022 04:03:25 GMTWhen using dehydrated jalapeños I use 0.06%. This is the percentage I used when making brats and smoked meats commercially. I just add them to the liquid I’m already using in the recipe to rehydrate, but you can certainly rehydrate them separately.

]]>https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72243https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/post/72243Wed, 09 Mar 2022 03:54:41 GMTND Mike I used some this weekend on my Jalapeno Popper brats. I soaked a few to see what kind of heat they had. I only made a 5lb batch and only used a half of the Walton’s Excalibur bottle, which is 1.2 oz. I put them in a bowl and covered them in water while I was grinding to I did not measure the water, but made sure they were just covered. They set while I was grinding and I added them after the mix. Its all going to be personal preference and how much heat you want. The Excalibur had some good heat. I was just looking for a little more heat with mine. I also added HT cheddar.
