Hello From Mississippi

[007]

I love Sausage.
I may be asking in the wrong place but here goes.
I've made it several times, some real good, but never exactly like I wanted.
Fixing to make and smoke in natural casings about 20 lbs of Venison.
I have a question, when figuring weight for the cure #1, do you weigh the meat and fat or the finished mix that includes the spices, salt etc .?
Thanks

Just add the cure for the amount of total meat and fat, not the spices included.
