B, B and P ( Brats, Breakfast sausage and Polish Sausage)

[WI Smoker77]

Local grocery had some pork butts on sale last week. $1.49/lb. Less than what they have been, so decided to make some sausage for the family
Bought 2 butts and trimmed them out, ended up with around 21 lbs. trimmed.

Tried something different this time. 1X grind using a 3/8" plate, wanted to try a coarse textured sausage



Used a Polish Sausage mix from PS Seasonings, (which I had some left from previous endeavors), and the Sheboygan Brat seasoning from them also.
Had to 'embelish' the Brat seasoning a little, due to not having enough spices left from previous use. The flavor profile after came out very well imho.
The breakfast sausage seasoning I make from scratch.. Mixed and stuffed the Polish and Brats and linked. Breakfast left in bulk form to package in 1 lb amounts.
Total amounts were 7.5lb brats, 7.5lb of Polish and 5.5lbs of breakfast. Very happy with the flavor and the coarser texture does seem to have a little more 'meat' to the chew.
Sorry no 'money shots' on the fry test, too busy eating it!!!

These are fresh sausage and I did not smoke them so I did not use cure, and the spices did not have any in them.

Looks great. I can almost smell them!
I'm a fan of coarser grinds as well. When you mix it gets broken down anyway.
What sort of casings is that? It's hard to tell but doesn't look like natural hog.

Yes should have plenty, although with three grown 'kids' and their significant others, it seems to go very quickly !!!

You are correct , they are not natural casings unfortunately. I had some casings in the refridgerator, and when I opened them was not confident in there 'freshness', so opted to use collagen cases this time. My wife prefers them anyway, although I'd rather do natural.
Thanks all for the good comments everyone !!
