I like to start my brats on the grill meanwhile I have a pot of beer with sliced onions and kraut on the stove simmering. After the brats have a nice skin take them off the grill and finish them in the beer. When time to eat, brats, onions and kraut all come out of the beer and go on the bun. Yum. Say goodbye to those grilled, overcooked, dry, gameday tailgate brats.

I also have a kraut recipe somewhere from an old issue of Brew Your Own magazine. If I find it I'll post it.

Oh, and +1 Alton Brown. That guy is awesome.
