    Need help with my first cold smoke sausage

    I spoke to him today , its a basic sodium nitrate , bulk called salt cure , their QA person verified that the max amount is 3g per kg meat . this is the amount they use in the sausage they sell to the public. going to give it a try today.

    Need help with my first cold smoke sausage

    This is white , and he gave this to me from his inventory and put it into a baggie, this is an old German butcher and he called it pickle cure , do you have any recommendations how much to use ?

    Need help with my first cold smoke sausage

    I need to know how much cure to use , my local butcher gave me what he called Pickle Cure , in a very little baggie , and mentioned that this would be enough to make 50lbs of sausage . He could not give me much since his auditor tracks the usage . Can someone give me a more precise measurement...
