Ok friends,
Bout to try my to make my first batch of deer sausage. This is my plan; coming from friends that have made it in the past. Now I come to the experts, you, to see if I have a sound plan.
I have a cabelas grinder with stuffer attachment.
I have a premade mix I ordered from Targils online.
I plan to grind my 20 lbs on deer and 30 lbs of boston butt.
After the first grind, I plan to mix in my seasoning and cure. How much water should I mix the seasoning and cure with before blending into my meat? Then I'll run it through the next pass straight into stuffing my north american preflushed casings.
Now goes to the smokehouse, at 160 degrees for six hours. Then I'll spray it down with water and smoke another 1/2 hour. From there and plan to let it cool and package for the freezer.
Does this sound right? Am I missing anything? What temp should I look for internal? When I get to that internal temp should I call that good, wet it with water and smoke a little while longer; or should I go the 6 hours I plan? And should I wet it like I plan? Thanks for the help.
