I'm at a stand still,I thought I had powdered milk in the pantry, nope. My wife is out shopping and said Wegmans and Aldis neither had any. Hopefully Tops has some or I'm screwed.

Pics coming if I can finish this?

I've substituted whole milk instead of powdered and water.  If recipe calls of 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of powdered milk, I've just put a 1/2 cup of whole milk.  It''l do in a pinch.

Recipe calls for powdered milk and milk, I only have skim in the fridge! I might have a can of evaporated milk, maybe that will work?

if you have evaporated just use that for the liquid milk volume and skip the powdered.

you wont want to add to much liquid.  I would just add in the skim to cover for the water and the powdered milk like Culver said.

I'd just put the 1/3 cup using evaporated and skip the rest. Brats are pretty dry stuffing. hot dogs are more emulsified and benefit from the powdered milk. it smooths it and binds it.

I definitely need to work on my stuffing skills! (I hear a Pygmy joke coming) I'm  going to lightly smoke these Brats along with a small batch of pepper sticks.  At least I know the pepper sticks will be good.

Sorry Bob, I thought I posted this pic, maybe I put it in the "whats in your smoker" thread. They are ok, I  think they need more seasoning?
