Mixed up 10 lbs of ground beef and pork for some Genoa.

For the last add in im using a smooth acid blend of Trehalose and ECA.

Added between the 2 batches is 1/3 cup dry red wine.

I split the dry for 2 five pound batches. Layered each then combined for the 10lbs

This is a test premix im trying.

Only add ECA to the meat before stuffing, mix in by hand. ECA can turn the meat mushy if added and put in fridge.
 
Gonna be good. I have tried this. Learning from a master.
 
Added the smooth acid blend this morning before stuffing. Did the add in two 5lb batches then combined.

In the smoker. No smoke for the Genoa but im sure it will pick up some. PID working great and I dont have to go out and bump the heat as i did on the Original novus digi that was on TSM Smoker.

Not, just a normal sausage maker.

Going to be a long night. Stalled right now.

Gotta shout out a THANK YOU to everyone who helped get my smoker running again and how to wire the element to my PID.

Looking really nice there Nepas.
I like salami in my sammiches and I bet your homemade would be incredible.
Very nice I eagerly await the finished product.

Congrats on making the Carousel!

Sausage making is an intimidating process to me and thus I keep procrastinating on getting into it.
Plus I'm really only home on the weekends, afraid something would go wrong while I'm on the road.
