    Beer Brats done right!!!



    STEP BY STEP



    Four Steps to Better Bratwurst





    Whether you're tailgating at the game or just grilling in your backyard, here's
    how to get great grilled brats and perfectly cooked onions every time.


    1. Simmer
    the beer, mustard, and spices in a disposable aluminum pan over one side of the
    grill. Grill the sliced onions on the opposite side.



    2
    .
    Transfer the grilled onions to the simmering beer mixture and grill the
    bratwurst until just browned.



    3.
    Submerge the browned bratwurst in the simmering beer mixture to finish cooking.



    4. Once
    the sausages are cooked through, return them to the grill to crisp up while the
    beer mixture finishes reducing.





    STEP BY STEP



    The Best Beer for Brats




    We tested eight lagers in our recipe for Grilled Brats and Beer, and tasters
    overwhelmingly preferred the mellow sweetness of Budweiser. Miller Genuine
    Draft was our second choice, with tasters praising its mild, malty flavor.
    Expensive imported beers, such as Heineken and Spaten, were bitter when reduced
    in the sauce, so keep those beers for drinking.



    Grilled Brats and Beer



    Serves 10



    Light-bodied
    lagers work best here. Depending on the size of your grill, you may need to
    cook the onions in 2 batches in step 2. Standard hot dog buns will be too small
    or the bulky brats.

    onions ,
    sliced into 1/2-inch rounds





    3



    tablespoons vegetable
    oil




    Pepper




    2



    (12-ounce)
    beers (see note at left)




    2/3



    cup Dijon
    mustard




    1



    teaspoon sugar




    1



    teaspoon caraway
    seeds




    10



    bratwurst
    sausages




    10



    (6-inch)
    sub rolls





    1. Turn all burners to medium-high and heat, covered, for 15 minutes.
    (For charcoal grill, arrange 50 coals over bottom of grill. Light 100 coals;
    when covered with fine gray ash, pour evenly over cold coals. Set cooking grate
    in place and let heat, covered, with lid vent open completely, for 5 minutes.)
    Scrape and oil cooking grate. Brush onions with oil and season with pepper.
    Whisk beer, mustard, sugar, caraway, and 1 teaspoon pepper in 13 by 9-inch
    disposable aluminum pan.



    2. Arrange disposable pan on one side of grill and grill onions on
    other side of grill until lightly charred, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer onions to
    pan and grill sausages until browned, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer sausages to
    pan, cover grill, and simmer until sausages are cooked through, about 15
    minutes. Remove cooked sausages from pan and grill until lightly charred, about
    4 minutes. Transfer sausages to platter and tent with foil.



    3. Continue to simmer beer mixture, with grill covered, until onions
    are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Place bratwurst in
    rolls and spoon on sauce and onions. Serve.





  2. An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is

    going at this time of night.

    The man replies, "I am on my way to a

    lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as

    smoking and staying out late."

    The officer then asks, "Really? Who is

    giving that lecture at this time of night?"

    The man

    replies, "That would be my wife."

    ding! ding! ding! ding! I believe we have a winner!

    Was beginning to suspect that also when he began demanding "factual" responses, didn't really care about the opinions of people here who have hundreds of man-years worth of experience...

  4. ‎5000 years ago, Moses said, "Pick
    up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the
    Promised Land."

    When Welfare was introduced, Roosevelt said, "Lay down
    your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised
    Land."

    Today, the government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses,
    raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land to China
  5. Maybe it's a bit rich, but if you want speakers right now, they will be the best 575 speakers you've ever had.

    agree, i wouldn't let a great pair slip away for the amount of dollars you might pay to fill up your truck.
