    why is cure seperated?

    I have purchased some bulk sausage mix that I want to repackage into smaller (5#) batches. The cure is packaged separately. is there a reason that I can't just add it to the rest of the spice mix etc. when I repackage into smaller batches?

    Adding spices during dry cure?

    I'm using Bear's bacon recipe with TQ and brown sugar. I have noticed that most folks are adding spices like CBP and garlic and onion just before pelicle formation.... Has anyone added other spices with the TQ and brown sugar during the cure?  If so how did they turn out? Thanks!

    beef fat instead of pork for venison SS

    I am very new to the forums here but not to making a decent venison summer sausage. I have been poking around here most of the afternoon and the "norm" seems to be 50/50 venison to pork but which will give you about a 80/20 meat to fat ratio. Does anyone use beef fat/suet? We make a pretty...
