How To Make fresh homemade bratwurst sausage

  • 1
    Mix all the spices together in a bowl.
  • 2
    cut all the pork butt into pieces big enough for your grinder to handle. Spread the spices from the bowl on the pork chunks and mix well by hand.
  • 3
    Grind meat chunks with medium plate. (IMPORTANT) take a little piece of sausage and fry it to see if spices are enough, if not add and mix again.
  • 4
    My wife like brat patties. I like brat links. So i stuff half into hog casings, and the other half into bulk. I suck the air out of the packages, and freeze them.
