1st Attempt...Crash hot potato with Brats


 
I've cooked brats a thousand different ways. Slow, indirect. Boiled, then grilled. Simmered, then grilled. Smoked, then simmered, then grilled, then simmered some more. Currently, my favorite is low simmered in beer (with bay leaf) then grilled. How did you cook these?

Indirect heat only... But your method of using beer and a bay leaf sound good. I will have to try it.
 
If you cook them on the stove, be sure to simmer, on LOW. Don't boil the snot out of them like the barbarians. That will make them chewy and dry. Get them to a simmer until they are an even grey (maybe 10ish minutes after the simmer starts). Grill them direct on medium heat, turning, rotating often. You can add mustard to the simmering pot if you like too.
