Ohhhh and the Hog casings I got were the worst ... Tried rinsing them and all had "blow outs" took em back and got another pack and they were garbage too... Used almost thr whole pack to finish 15 LBS....

Looks good. You might need to soften the casings.

Sausage looks good . Nice work .

Those little packs are rejects and short lengths repackaged for folks that are newbies. Buy a hank from a reputable source like syracuse casing co. The rinsed and pre-tubed casing are a snap to use and virtually no blow outs...JJ

i usually get mine from the local butcher, i tell him i'm making 20 lbs and he sells me the proper amount. he was out , so i tried the salted junk from another store. thx for the feed back, lesson learned.

Even with the problems you had, they sure look like they turned out good!
Nice job!

Keilbasa looks great considering your troubles. Nice!

These look great and a big like. I have had such problems getting natural hog casings, I have given up and use collagen.

It's just a basic combination of several recipes....

That Kielbasa looks great...you like that 1/3 venison ratio? I have always been curious what ratio of meat allows it to considered a wild game (venison) sausage...at least for resale as wild game sausage.
