You should try at 155F for 50 minutes; then put it in the oven set to 'broil' for 6 minutes on each side. Comes out much better without breaking the skin, and looks like the ones that you cooked in the Johnsonville cooker.
From Wisconsin we prefer our Brats on a charcoal grill. My son-in-law makes him on his wood pellet smoker and I have to admit these are as good or maybe even better. We like our brats to have a snap when you bite into one. That being said make them however you like them best there is no right or wrong way to each their own!
This is a good video. I liked how the souse vide seems to be juicy and taste better but I liked the look of the other cooker. More testing needed. Great video!
One thing you failed to point out is that the brats sous vide had a lot less clean up. A couple of minutes under the broiler in foil probably would likely give a decent browning and preserve the casing.
I'm wondering a "what if'. What if you sous vide a bunch of sausages & refrigerate or freeze them. Then when ready to use, pop in the grill until seared (if they even fit in the grill). Or put on the barbie to sear and see how they do.
Sear brats without breaking the casings by putting in water for 5 minutes . Grill works best for searing as you can keep temp low enough to sear yet not break casings. Sear for one minute then turn, one minute then turn. Already cooked so no need to worry about getting grill too hot.
The brats cooked sous vide had much longer for the fat to render, compared to the sausage grill, which should have a effect on the flavor, and the intensity of the searzall gave a deeper caramelizing to the casing, and a crisper skin.
Searzall is a poor product. And, your searing technique was also poor. A proper searing torch paired with a proper searing technique would have resulted in no casing rupture therefore more Maillard reaction, and no fat loss, therefore superior juiciness and taste. Johnsonville isn't a good choice for quality sausages. Your local butcher is the best source. 📢 "SUE-VEED"
Thanks for the video! I've never seen that grill before. Very cool! I'm into sous vide but never tried sausages before. Will have to now! :)

A proper torch + technique wouldn't have ruptured the casings.
That fancy machine is a Rome pie iron without the fire. I have the brat pie iron. Sous vide cooks the best brat ever, if you sear em afterwards

Looks like you need to learn how to use the searzall
Searzall is a poor product. Overpriced, slow, and fussy. Much better searing tools are available.
