    I thought a Rubiks cube was tough!

    It is much easier under water but I haven't found a trick to keeping them untangled.

    I thought a Rubiks cube was tough!

    Just spent a half hour untangling casings. Rinsed some inside by rinsing using the faucet. I put them back in the container while i was still undoing under water basket UNWEAVING. They must have wanted to go back to their original position in the colony. The untangled ones became the tangled...

    First try and now a problem!! Help

    Well my first batch of brats went so, so. (See other post) I used cabelas spicy beer brat kit. Well i ended up with 66 brats and cooked up some. They are super spicy! Almost to the point that you cant eat them. Is there any way to tone them down? (Possibly simmer in sugar water or something?)...

    So if I want them like johnsonville type brats, do I skip the cure, stuff, rest, prefreeze and seal up and back in the freezer?  Not sure where the poaching comes in on  this.

    Getting ready to make my first ever batch of beer brats. (NEWBIE!!)

    Now the next big questions before I mess things up!! I am not smoking them. Do I need the cure or can I get away with stuffing and letting rest for a bit, then poach?  Do I need to poach?  Do I let them rest before or after poaching?  Does it matter if I use the cure anyway? I am getting...

    I am using a Hi mountain kit.  I have been soaking the casings and changing the water for a cpl days now as it says to do in the sticky.  How long should I wait after I mix in the seasonings and beer before stuffing the casings? I have read to let it set for a cpl hours and other say stuff right...

    5lb stuffer or go larger?

    Thanks, unless I get a few more comments I guess I will lean toward keeping it. As far as storage, It will go next to my hobart deli slicer and 1 h.p grinder!

    5lb stuffer or go larger?

    I just picked up a Cabelas 5lb stuffer. It looks very small. I have not done this before and wonder if I need larger or can work well with a 5 lb model?  How many brats do you usually get from a 5lb batch?

    freezing meat question (first post)

    Has anyone, sliced seasoned and then froze their jerky meat. Then you could pull it out and thaw it, and just throw it in the smoker after a night in the fridge thawed? I freeze it pre-sliced but have never tried seasoning it and freezing it.
