    Food Containers for bacon

    Yea I used a ziplock the one time I got a 5 lbs piece and was able to use the TQ. I need to find a bigger container when using pops brine. I thought the one I bought was food safe. But I don’t think it is.

    Venison Summer Sausage Tips

    It’s gotta be to much water. When I mix it never looks mushy. Yea too much water could thin out the seasoning resulting in a bland taste. That’s the good thing about this, we learn from mistakes so next time we can produce a better product. I made beer brats last year with vension and used...

    Venison Summer Sausage Tips

    Was the meat tacky or more mushy? That seems like it could have been to much water. The kits I’ve done is only 2-3 cups per 25 lbs. I’ve usually grind through medium plate then mix seasonings n mixer then freezer to firm up then back through a small plate. Comes out better IMO. But yours has to...

    Venison Summer Sausage Tips

    What kit did you use? What plates did you use to grind? I've used the cabelas kits and Owens bbq kits with great success. We never had an issue with using either.

    Summer Sausage with Recipe and pics

    I agree with ab Canuck. We process a lot of vension. I would buy a dedicated grinder and sausage stuffer . Cabelas has some decent deals right now. Their stuffer is on sale for 112. I love that thing. So much easier than using the attachments that come with the grinder

    Making Bacon

    I would do a dry rub with tender quick but I don’t have a good scale to get the right amount of TQ. I got a lil over 10lbs slab from Costco. I have a gallon of distilled set a side for my ferments n such Ill use as I got a slab of loin for canadian bacon. Might as well cure em together

    Making Bacon

    hey y’all. About to make some bacon and got to thinking. Does it matter what kind of water I use for pops brine? Last time I think I used water from the faucet and maybe used spring water the time before. Guess I’m second guessing myself for some reason. Thanks Danny
