Lockhart sausage #3
Looks fantastic! Have not run any of Tex sausage yet but have studied it extensively. I have some strong thoughts about how I would go about it. If doing purist and using cayenne is a must for you, try and see if you can find legit DARK cayenne, made with no seeds (half the heat). Someone... -

Sauerbraten
I adapted a bread dumpling recipe from @bill ace 350 and it is FANTASTIC. Thought I reported back and took pics. My bad! My neighbor lady as a kid was directly from Bavaria and spoke very little English. The flavor profile of Bill's dumplings are pretty much right on my neighbors cooking...- zwiller

Sauerbraten Sides Recipes
Yeah easy to make but sorta messy. Forgot to post this in that other thread. My grandma made chicken noodle soup like weekly and hear noodles were spaetzle but a little thicker. She used the same technique but used the board lengthwise so the noodles were long. If you live say 4-8hours from... -
Corned Beef Brisket
Heads up if you make boiled dinner yeast extract kicks the broth up WAY up! Love that stuff.- zwiller

Sauerbraten Sides Recipes
IMO it's really easy to make a sweet sour bomb with too many similar things so I try to mix savory in there. Love german tater salad but would be too much for me with SB. Better with a brat or schnitzel. There is a Reddit thread called "ask a german" and there is TON wicked cool stuff in... -

Just grabbed his book. Talk to me on this. I know you got a palette. Whole/roasted/plain jane ground? I am research toasting it and it supposedly a BIG deal. From Chipotle's website. I am chasing that stuff.- zwiller

Featured Snowstorm Gumbo
NICE and congrats on the ride! Well deserved. Not sure what stock you used but I once made stock from the scrap of a cured smoked turkey for a gumbo and no other way. Kicked it up another level. Essentially free too. Throw in IP for an hour or so. -

Love Arnie! Took my game up a few notches with his stuff. He uses chuck roast for steak tacos and it's the BOMB. Typical roast makes a TON of it too. Only issue for some is you need a slicer to it best or maybe the butcher will do it for you. Found 3 more and totally making the 2nd one.- zwiller

Featured Cured Turkey Breast
Oh yeah. Year MIL passed away we went to Cracker Barrel for TG. Holy crap was that good. Sweet potatoes had orange and a real nice chili powder. I mix cob with a comp blend (cherry/hickory/maple) and oak so it's a little bit of everything. Reminds me of my Uncle's farm so I call it... -
Featured Cured Turkey Breast
Yeah Pops is good stuff. No one talking about them anymore but remember Pops and Omak ran mixes with cob pellets from TSC. I still have a bag. I have not run it yet but grabbed orange extract to play with over the holidays. Mind was blown. Was sorta expecting OJ or Tang, but NOPE! The... -
Hello All, From NW Ohio
Welcome Jordan from Sandusky. Same rig minus the fan. Learned pretty much all of this here too and am constantly amazed at the quality of my stuff. Another thing that really helped me was hanging my product at room temp a few hours to take the chill off of it. Dries the casing as well so you... -
Botched snack sticks, need guidance
@indaswamp Spot on. Do note there is a difference in texture and mouth feel in those temps. 150F is firm and chewy whereas 136F is looser and softer. No right or wrong here just preference. I prefer the higher temp. I am sorta playing with this now. I use a water pan with a moisture...
