Jo Jo I spent 6 years in Germany. Loved every minute of it. After aving good brats and other wursts, I have yet to find a good one here in the states. To me Johsonville is tolerable, but would love to go back to deutchland!

We have a local butcher and they make their own brats. They make the perfect jalapeno brat with fresh jalapenos. It is never too spicy but just a right mix of spice and heat. As in beer I love our Missouri local Boulevard Wheat Unfiltered. I am also a huge fan of Sam Adams Boston Lager and one I have tried twice but is hard to find. It is called Left Hand Milk Stout. Super good from what I can remember when I got to that one. If I was to have a mixed drink it would be a Royal Flush or some of this root beer flavored hooch the Lt. from my work makes.

Paul what do you call a sprig? Rosemary can be over powering so I would hate to ruin a lot of brats with too much.

For me, I usually throw in two four-inch twigs worth into the bath.
Remember, this isn't going into the meat--it's just having the oils from the herb getting in the beer bath and thus into the meat. It's more of a ratio of how much liquid you have than anything else--and I usually run two beers in my brat bath.
