Rinsing everything off with hot water when done using it makes a huge difference in final cleanup...rather than meat getting dried on

I try and wash my junk off when I get done using it ............ Well, ummmm, you know what I mean.

Well, I lied. I said I wasn't going to get to it today, but I did it anyway. Maybe not the prettiest job there ever was, but I feel like it's a pretty solid first attempt at stuffing sausages.

I’d say that is an awesome job for your first go! Better than what I would have put out. More important will be how do they taste! Great work!!!!!

I was, in my mind, making it harder than actually doing it was. I took, an hour, hour and a half to mix, stuff, and link. I'm sure I will get faster at it with practice. I honestly expected a mess, not decent looking sausages for my first try.
 
I couldn't be more pleased with my first time results, and I know the more I do it, the better it's going to get.
 
Looks great to me .
I took your advice and tied my links off, but I think I could have twisted them without a whole lot of issue. Glad I did the tie this time around though.
 
Those look great Doug. Doing it and getting it done is the hardest first step. After that everything makes more sense and it gets easier. Then the job gets better. Congratulations on the first run. nice work buddy.

You know you helped make it happen, buddy. Help with equipment selection, encouragement, maybe a little prodding to get me going ...... Thanks!

Good . In my opinion those don't twist well . Just make it easy and fun . You have time to decide what works good for you .

I expect I'll mainly use natural casings, but I had these on hand and really wanted to give this a try.

I'd use collagen casings for summer sausages and meat sticks and natural casings for links for sure. Doug, your links really look better than any links I've done, points !!

A ton of youtube videos, and a good teacher to answer whatever questions I had beforehand went a long way.
