Ok im going camping this weekend and I'm going to be grilling some johnson ville brats. how long do i cook them on each side?

You will probably get several different answers, but when I do sausage I cook indirect heat and turn about every 10 minutes. Probably cook for 30 mins.

I know that most guys do some sort of a beer bath with their brats.

I do a beer bath.

A camp fire may not be a good medium for this type of brat cooking, but it's the only kind I do.

I get a few dark beers and bring them up to about 165. I put in a cubed up onion, an entire head of garlic -smashed- and a cup or so of sauerkraut. I let that go all day long. I mean all day long. Just keep it around 160-165. Then, I throw them on high direct heat and get some good grill marks. That also makes the skin crunchy. Just do it for a minute or so on each side. Don't let them split or they'll be dry.

A good whole mustard, along with a hogie roll, some sauteed onions and bell pepper and you're set. I prefer D�sseldorf mustard.

For a variation, try some kimchi on your brat instead of the onion/bell pepper topping. A little heat to it, but very very good.

I cook mine in about three beers.

The package has the recommeded cooking time on the label. There are several different varieties of Johnsonville Brats. Some are precooked and some aren't. I use the Beer Brats that are precooked. Takes about 10 or 15 minutes on the grill (low heat), turning frequently.
