    Venison brats with Hi Mountain Seasonings

    How did the elk turn out?  I just mixed up my meat tonight and set the casings to soak overnight.  I'll be stuffing  the brats tomorrow.  I wound up returning the High Mountain kit and making a recipe I found online.   Haven't done the fry test yet,  but will before I commit the meat to links...

    Nope! Not too late....diverted my attentions to brining and smoking the Thangsgiving turkey. Thank you for the feedback and good advice on doing a fry test. I hadn't thought to do that. Thanks!!

    Venison brats with Hi Mountain Seasonings

    Wow, that's great info on the fat content, Mickey....maybe that's why Hi Mountain listed such a high amount of plain ground pork. I just picked up 12 lbs of pork butt from my butcher today.  It looks like fatty roasts, but no fat cap.  So if I read you right, and I plan to use 4 lbs of ground...

    Venison brats with Hi Mountain Seasonings

    Yeah, I was planning on them fresh -- either way I won't use the cure.   Maybe I'll just return the kit..

    Venison brats with Hi Mountain Seasonings

    I bought a bratwurst kit at Cabela's -- Hi Mountain Seasoning's Bratwurst.  The instructions say to put in 19 lbs of  ground pork for 5 lbs of venison.  It seems like a lot of units of pork per venison (80%).   Most recipes I've seen on the internet call for 50-60% pork butt , pork shoulder...

    Venison brats with Hi Mountain Seasonings

    I bought a brat kit at Cabela's from Hi Mountain Seasonings and am having second thoughts on using it.  The instructions say to use 19 lbs of pork to 5lbs of venison.  I thought it seemed like a lot of pork for 5 lbs of venison and from some cursory searches, it looks like others use 60/40 pork...
