I got a grinder for Christmas and I tried making some Whitetail Brats and I am very happy with how they came out. I used 25% pork fat with no pork meat and Lem ready mix bratwurst seasoning. They taste better than pork brats from the store.

Thanks everyone. Its a Lem #8. It worked well. It has a special plate for stuffing. Im sure a stuffer would work a lot nicer but with the foot pedal it went pretty fast.
 
Looks awesome, I need to get around to making another batch of brats. If you have a smoker really adds to the flavor as well, just keep temp low so the fat doesn't get hot and run out of them.
 
They do look great. It's an addictive process - but a fun one to learn. I'm always picking up new stuff every time I do a batch.

I'm curious how the bind was for you on the first attempt? If you can, post a pic of a cross-section of a cooked brat.

Congrats!
 
Man... those look good! Deer brats. Nice!

You boil them in beer then toss them on the grill or a straight low heat grill?

For a first, they look as though you've been at it with some seasoned experience.

I'm ready for a seat at the poker table and brats for the intermission.

I have tried them both of those ways so far and enjoyed them both times.

Here is a pic of a leftover one from the boil in beer method. Im not sure about how the bind is supposed to look like but i just mixed the seasoning with beer before I mixed it into the meat and I only ground it one time through the fine plate that my grinder came with.
