FAQ

What do you soak brats in before grilling?

For the best results, grill your brats slowly over medium-low heat (between 300 and 350°F), until they reach your desired internal temperature of 160°F, which should take about 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the brats.

Do you have to boil brats before you grill them?

Any beer will do, but pale lagers work best. Boil in the beer bath for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the brats turn white. The casings on a fresh sausage will puff up with delicious juices as the meat inside heats up. Let’s get grilling. Place your bratwurst in a full pan of beer on the grill.

How long do you cook brats worth on the grill?

Rule #3: NEVER EVER BOIL BRATS. Never boil brats in beer or any other liquid before or after they are grilled because doing so actually removes flavor from the meat. Instead, steam them in an aluminum pan with simmering beer and onion slices to keep them warm and juicy.
