Sorry about that, I missed it......
Absolutely no need to apologize. That's what makes this such a great place - people looking out for other peoples safety & helping each other out. I do appreciate the warning as I had made no prior mention of cure in the Polish sausage & had I not known to use it you might have prevented me from causing someone to get sick & that is a good thing

Your Polish sausage looks very good! Have you ever tried your brats grilled and then put in sauteed beer and onions or beer and sauerkraut? Fresh home made brats really soak that stuff up.
 
 
     He also told me to cover whatever casings I didn't use with salt & store them in the freezer. I decided to separate all the strands & bag them individually so I can just grab one in the future & go with it.
Were your casings packed in a salt solution/brine or just packed in salt. My casings come in salt water solution. I just re use the contents and place them back in the bag and into a ziplock container. For the ones left over I didnt used and washed I place them in a small mason jar with salt and distilled water.. About half a cup each... Make sure you use non Iodized salt when packing the casings. I dont see no need to freeze them. the fridge will do just fine

They were in a salt solution/brine. When I put each strand in its own snack baggie & added the salt it pulled just the right amount of moisture out to make a brine just like they came in so I figured they would be ok to store that way. I hope so at least - I would hate to waste almost a whole hank of good casings...
 
OMG!!!!  Now that I am not going to use my Popeye Grinder....unless the power goes out and Zombies come around....I can make these too with the Electric one.  The brats look amazing!  Thanks for sharing the recipe and the Cure tips too.  "Gotsta"  be safe!
