    40# Deer Kielbasa - Finally

    Just getting ready to come out of the smoker.  Recipe right out of Rytek's book, except 60% deer and 40% pork, rough guess.  Question at the end. Got it ready to package. Money shot.  We made plain, cheddar, and hot-n-spicy. Of course, pickled some with plenty of heat!  Let sit for...

    Another Non-fat Dry Milk Question

    I've reconsidered. I'm going to add it dry, slowly. Add water as needed. Whew, glad that's decided! For now anyway.

    Another Non-fat Dry Milk Question

    Actually, I'm still confused on dissolving it in the water you add or not.  Add it dry to meat mixture, or make it into milk and then add? I'm going to make it into milk, then add.

    How to handle natural casings

    I just bought hog casings from Butcher & Packer.  Their directions say to soak in luke warm water for 20 mins.  What am I missing here?  I'm new to this hobby, for me, and really like the way the casings look from Boykjo's technique.   Can one over soak casings???  Remember, I'm a rookie.

    edit.  Sorry for the title.  Auto correct and I can't figure out how to fix the title.  Refrig fresh Kielbasa....... OK, I was planning on making and smoking kielbasa while brewing beer.  There may not be enough hours in one day for doing both.   So, this is my idea.  Now, I didn't say it was...

    Kielbasa and Salt

    thanks.  I see canning salt is exactly equivalent to granular salt, by volume.

    Kielbasa and Salt
