    Question about laying flat instead of hanging

    Welcome to sausage making!! My concern about laying flat is that , along with impaired smoke penetration is : If the sausage is stuffed correctly , tightness , etc. , the spices , cure , moisture ,will stay spread through out the entire product. When laid flat , it tends to concentrate at its...

    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    Great job.!! I have also used unbleached muslin bags for SS. Works fine. My only question is ... Is your cold room very cold.? Using cure 1 will not prevent spoilage indefinitely if the temp is not low enough. I also have a cold room in basement for Salami during winter. For the Salami , I used...

    Ring bologna

    I like both the coarse grind and fine grind.A lot of the super market fine grind is not good. When it is done by the home SM it is good. Also the smaller local SM that make it for retail do a good job. The best finer grind ring bologna I have had is in a little market in Wines burg Ohio.  Good...

    Summer sausage in the oven

    Great job!! I also use the oven when I need to. I have a similar recipe , however I am going to copy yours. I am sure you already know .... one can make many of what are usually called luncheon  meats in recycled  food cans or in regular bread loaf pans in the oven.   If you want that old smoky...

    Bologna problem

    I agree about fat content suggested by DanM. If I were using beef I would stick to about 20% With venison it wouldn't hurt to have it about 30% A couple of questions .. were you making a " Venison Bologna " based on a recipe from a book or  a friends recipe? Were you trying to make a ring...

    Cure or not?

    I know that your question relates to making sausage. I think the responses you got on right on.I just want to  give you a little side thought. By adding cure to a product does not automatically mean it must be smoked.One example . There is a product in Canada called P-Meal bacon. Not to be...

    Breakfast Sausage, cure or not?

    I am with Teke. I like them fresh or smoked. Cure them and cold smoke. Yes , you can smoke a pattie without a casing. Smoke at a very low temp. Do not have product directly over heat.You can also wrap them in muslin before smoking. Weisswurst
