Breakfast links

[wes w]

Good morning friends,

I have a couple questions.   What size and type of casing would I use for breakfast sausage links.   I like the size you get in restaurants.  I have no clue of the metric size measurements.   I'm just to old to learn new tricks I guess.  Thanks to everyone in advance

Hope everyone has a great day!

Wes

~21mm collagen is what seems to be used most for breakfast sausage anymore.

Of course small sheep casings can also be used, but they're expensive.

Thanks for the help.   I'll probably splurge for the sheep casing.   I don't know anything about the collagen casing.  Being new, I should get a small amount of them just to see what the texture and feel of them is like.

Thanks for the advice

21-24 sheeps are the size of a normal hot dog. The 24-26 is the size of thick hot dog and what sausage usually is in diners up north. If you are talking about country sausage like they make here in NC I would use a 32mm natural hog casing.
