Title: Deer Bratwurst
Post by: Slamadoo on January 03, 2011, 09:11:42 PM: Gonna make some homemade deer bratwurst. Should I use pork or beef fat? First time doing this kind of thing. What do you guys use? Any advice would be helpfull.

Thanks

I dont' think I'll use beef fat again. The stuff I do have I'll likely save for burger/taco night.

Post by: Slamadoo on January 11, 2011, 05:21:56 PM: Ok. So I made my Brats. I used a couple pork shoulder roasts. I used one of those Hi-Country Wild Game Sausage Kits. Has anybody used these before? Haven't eaten any Brats yet. Will let you know how they turn out.

Post by: Slamadoo on January 16, 2011, 12:55:05 PM: Had a brat this morning with breakfast. It was good, better than I thought for my first time. Next time I will add one more pork shoulder and grind it with coarse attachment instead of fine. Thanks for the advice/help.
