    need good brat recipe

    Being new at sausage making and not having tried anything yet I was thinking about going out this weekend with a list of ingredients but after reading your post I tend to agree at least until I get past the actual process of grinding and stuffing. I envision having to build another pantry and...

    Plate size question, newbe

    The one with the belt drive from china looks like the very same grinder I have. The motor as I mentioned will be a lovejoy setup, just a note the augur on mine is apparently metric and the only couplers I could find around here are standard so I had to take the coupling to work and have it bored...

    Stainless Steel Tray and Holder for #32 Meat Grinder

    This looks like the very same grinder I have. The motor as I mentioned will be a lovejoy setup, just a note the augur on mine is apparently metric and the only couplers I could find around here are standard so I had to take the coupling to work and have it bored to fit.

    Plate size question, newbe

    Thanks for the tip on the water, I knew about adding liquid but thought if was for a different purpose not sure what though. So you are mixing the seasonings with a liquid before mixing into the meat or I guess it could be done by putting in seasonings and then mixing. I don't have any books...

    Plate size question, newbe

    Yes I have done some reading on the subject and understand the importance of cubing and freezing the meat prior to the grind. Also I was planning on seasoning the meat after cubing and before grinding to do the first pass and stuff method. If this is not going to do well for me I will...

    Plate size question, newbe

    I am new to sausage making and have not yet began doing so because I am still in the process of setting up my manual #32 with a motor, almost there. So now my attention has turned more toward other things like recipes, how to and now plate size for grinding sausage, in particular stuffing...
