  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat & cover.
  • Simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, but DO NOT remove cover until ready to grill!
  • Get your grill ready & when it is ready, drain the Brats (reserving liquid) & put on the grill & cook until golden brown. (Place them back into the warm Beer & cover to keep them warm, if needed).
  • Serve with or w/o a bun, with Kraut, chopped Onion &/or some Silver Springs Horseradish-style Brat mustard (NOT that bright yellow Stuff -- YUK) Be sure to have some extra ice cold brewski's to enjoy the Brats!
  • This recipe can be adjusted either way, to fit your needs!
  • You can also broil these if the weather won't permit grilling.
  • These go VERY good with Recipe #305705 .
