Hi Justin,

Glad to see you having so much fun with your sausage-making equipment!  I'm impressed at all the different sausage runs you've done so far!  The cross sectional picture of your bologna, especially, looks really nice.  

I probably have missed some of your postings, so I'm not sure if you have tried cased sausages using hog or sheep casings yet?  If not, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how the snap of a nice hog casing really elevates a bratwurst from good to excellent.  

Hope you and your family are all doing well, and have a great weekend!
Clarissa
