So made a little patty and fried her up. Made sure temp was 155-160F and gave her a taste. I believe I nailed the spices. Some good heat but not overwhelming and a balanced flavor profile. Excited to stuff!!!!

From the pics is the meat an expected color for a 14 hr rest? Color after cooking?

Thanks for looking

Thanks guys.....I've got the stuffer parts in the freezer now [emoji]128513[/emoji]

So here is the test fry of the Hot Link mix. I took the pretty standard recipe I see all over and adjusted so that wife could enjoy it too. Man I nailed it with spice level. The flavor is spot on hot linky and the texture was perfect as well. Damn I'm sooooo excited :sausage::sausage:

It does that hahaha.

My 2nd batch of pastrami loaves took forever today!  When they hit about 152F I punched the temp from 170F to 200F to get to my 160F.  

I would NOT recommend you do that with the sausages.  You don't want the fat to melt down.  A loaf is a lot more forgiving than a sausage link :)

I look forward to seeing the final product :)
