Doing 2 different batches of sticks. Ea 2.5 lbs. Both fresh ground 80/20 gb.

Didnt feel like hand mixing so got the KA and dough hook going.

First batch is 2.5 lbs of OWENS BBQ 7 Pepper stick mix. 1/2 tsp cure 1. 1/4 cup distilled water.

No time for stuffing tonight so in the baggy and fridge for both batches. Might go with sheep casings.

Next batch is Tonwsend Sans Egal stick mix, cure 1 and 1/4 cup distilled water. Same as above in the fridge.


 
Awesome Rick, the Owens BBQ 7 pepper is really good. Haven't heard of the Townsend mix, what's the flavor like on that seasoning if ya don't mind me asking? Thx
 
Rick sounds good I am going to have to try some of these mixes some day.I used the paddle on a 5# batch last time,you have to go slow with that much

Nice looking Sticks and good mixes. I started using my KA mixer with the Dough Hook for all my 5 pound mixes for Salami and Snack Sticks. My bowl holds 5 pounds perfectly and I start out on low and add the seasonings and cure in a liquid mixture into the meat and then speed it up until the meat incorporates all of the seasoning and starts to ball up on the hook. This is usually about four or five minutes of mixing with a one time scrape down. Both the bowl and hook are in the freezer before I start and I use ice cold water to mix the cure and spices. The consistency is perfect for my Salami and Snack Sticks.

Yup

My wife used to have a side business making cakes, we have a 6qt pro holds 5 lbs. I only mix for 2 mins as not to smear the fat. I dont freeze as it makes metal contract and can wear the sides creating metal dust. Just my way.

Little bored today so i went kinda off my norm.
