    First Brats/hog casings and using the grinder

    How important is the "bloom" for sausage?  I didn't even think about this until looking at other posts.  I went straight out of water bath, dried off with paper towel and vacuum sealed.

    First Brats/hog casings and using the grinder

    Last one.  I brought some to our work BBQ for admin appreciation along with some wings.  Some just can't handle the heat though.

    First Brats/hog casings and using the grinder

    Sorry, I forgot to load the finished product.  They turned out AWESOME and hot like I wanted, but nothing went as I planned for this first time.  I learned a lot.  My MES 30 wouldn't keep a smoke going and the temp was all over the place because it was so windy.  So after getting some smoke on...

    First Brats/hog casings and using the grinder

    Great advice all.  I think I was just a rookie and being too gentle with the casings and should have added more water to the horn.

    Great advice about the cure adding after second grind.  I do have a Lem stuffer just couldn't get the casings to go over the larger plastic tube.  But after stuffing the casings obviously can stretch way larger.  I even tried spraying some pam on didn't help.

    First Brats/hog casings and using the grinder

    Let me first say that I went into this with all the confidence in the world after many months of watching all the veterans on this site perform their craft time and again.  They make it look so easy!  All you have to do is get a pork butt, cut it into cubes, put into freezer to harden up, grind...

    Snack Sticks

    Hi Mountain Pepperoni snack sticks, but I added 1 tablespoon of my home grown and dehydrated habanero/Serrano/jalapeño blend.  Next time I will probably add 2 tablespoons or just add habanero dust.  I like them hot.
