    So I got about 6lbs of homemade natural casing stuffed smoked Kielbasa. You think that would be good to use a couple of lbs to try this brine on? The Kielbasa is not spicy.

    I have the 11lb weston stuffer (same as the 7lb one shown above). Thats a great price and the weston stuffer is quality equipment. I have used mine the past few years for all my sausage/sticks making.

    To freeze summer sausage or not to

    I have done frozen 6-9 months on batches I have made using commercial summer sausage seasoning kits (cure included) before the sausage was all used up. Each chunk tasted as good as the first. Even had high temp cheddar and jalepeno still very good after 9mths of being vac sealed and frozen.
