    Advice needed

    is it possible to smoke cured sausage for about 4 hours and then vac bag them and sous vide them to finish? If so what would be the advice on times and temps for that kind of process?

    Sous vide smoked sausage

    Since I cooked a ham sous vide (and loved the result) i've been experimenting with SV. I did some smoked sausage today (thawed). I aimed for 150F (i dont have a proper SV, temp fluctuates a few deg up and down). After 1.5h i patted dry the sausage and quickly fried it in a pan. Was very good...

    First time smoked sausage is a success!

    My husband and I just made our first round of bratwurst. We used a commercial kit. The flavor is good, but not what I would call bratwurst (maybe it’s a regional thing?) anyhoo, it’s still good sausage! I have a few questions: 1. Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for how dense to hang...

    Fermenting summer sausage

    hi so I am new to fermenting sausage and have never tried to do it before. I was reading a recipe a while back for tangy summer sausage and mentioned it needed to ferment. I was just curious as to what is the process to ferment summer sausage. I’m not new to making sausage because I am a head...

    BDSkelly ~ Breakfast Sausage Grind.

    Once we started grinding our own breakfast sausage Mrs. BD would have nothing more to do with that mushy store bought in the plastic chub sauasage. In my opinion this is one of the easiest things you can do with one of the best returns on quality of your morning vittles! I start off making...

    OFG Summer Sausage

    I have had trouble making a summer sausage that I like since I started smoking. Don't get me wrong, all the spice mixes and recipes I tried made good summer sausage but it isn't what I remembered from when I was a kid. So, I have been experimenting for a couple of years to get what I remember...

    Huevo de Armadillo

    First, I didn't know which forum to post this in. They are appetizers that have stuffed jalapenos like ABTs but aren't an ABT. The main ingredient is Chorizo which is pork and a sausage. Sigh. I chose this forum and if I am wrong, please feel free to move it as appropriate and chastise me as...

    Spanish Chorizo Question

    Hey all! Here's a quicky for y'all. I made 5 lbs of Spanish chorizo about 4 weeks ago. It has been air curing in my closet without any attempt to regulate the temperature and humidity. The sausage does have curing salt #2 (1tbs) in it and a considerable amount of red wine for acidity. Here's the...

    Masterbuilt Dual Fuel temp and smoke control question

    Ok, so I'm new to smoking. I got the Masterbuilt dual fuel and smoked a brisket (flat...Maybe 5 lbs). Turned out tasty but a little heavy on the smoke. What is the best way to control how heavily smoked the meat gets? Is there a method to using the lower and upper vents? Should I leave them...

    Iodized Salt

    Yes, I know everyone says don't use Iodized salt. But it was all I had left. Can anyone offer a definitive explanation (other than "it may affect the final outcome") on why it should not be used in cultured fermented sausages and back it up with some real evidence? I understand the difference...

    Use MES for drying sausage?

    I have a MES 30 digital smoker. I'd like to try curing, drying and cold smoking sausages using Prague 2. Most recipes call for a drying out/hanging the sausage for several days before smoking. I don't have a suitable place to hang them. I was wondering if I could hang the sausages in my MES...

    Bratwurst

    I just finished a round of bratwurst. Came out amazingly good. The one item I experimented with was a substitute for soy concentrates as a binder. I had read a good amount as to whether binders did anything or were just fillers, and I must say, the jury is still out on that topic. This time...
