    Batch of deer jerky and summer sausage

    Took around 27 hours to get the sausage finished due to cold temps outside, so I was doing it in batches. Slightly sweet from hickory/cherry blend and hard cider in the water pan. Very tasty! Thanks for watching.

    Batch of deer jerky and summer sausage

    I cured it with insta cure no. 1. When I started making jerky 6-7 years ago, I started with Kutas' recipe for the basis and have just modified it according to the flavor I wanted each time.

    Venison hot Italian sausage

    My buddy and I took/processed this 185lb buck this week. We took 30lbs and decided to make summer sausage and jerky, but to stave off hunger pains while doing so, we cranked out about 2lbs hot Italian sausage that we hot smoked with cherry and then finished on the grill to crisp up the casings...

    Liverwurst

    Yeah, it can be an acquired taste. I grew up eating liver and onions but didn't like liverwurst/braunschweiger until I was in my late 20's, 5 or so years ago. Love it now, though the recipe as it stands doesn't have a really strong liver taste, it does have that creamy, liver texture.

    Liverwurst

    I don't know how using snoots (couldn't get them) but I would try them or reduce the amount of pork by 1lb and increase liver by 1lb to make the liver "pop" more..

    Meat Grinder: Kitchener (Northern Tool) vs Cabelas or LEM

    I make sausage in ~10lbs batches 6-10 times a year and my Cabelas pro grinder has held up fine for the past 8 years. I would love one of the 1hp commercial grinders, but then again I don't do a high volume on a weekly basis. Depends on your usage.

    It lessens the heat of the peppers. Had a big group over with some folks who can't handle even jalapeño hot.
