    First batch of the year w/ pics.

    I figured I'd bring y'all along today. We're going to make my basic pork sausage, a 17.14 lb. batch. Here's the recipe: No cheese or peppers this time. A 2.5 lb. London Broil was thrown into the party, though. It's amazing what you can find in the depths of the freezer. Alright, so after...

    new guy from tx

    Hello, everybody. My name's Zach. I've been a lurker here for several years. The amount of sausage making/BBQ insights I've picked up from y'all is staggering. So, thanks for the knowledge! Sausage making became a thing for me around 2015-2016, when I helped my uncle process some meat at his...
