The little mom N pop store i go to has salted natural casings for $7.30 a container. Enough in her to stuff 50lbs. Except this batch i'm going to stuff another way.

I have all my components to get my garage fridge into a dry cure cabinet, Maybe do that this weekend.
 
I called a friend of mine who does large amounts of dry cure sausage and said.

Hey i dont want to use natural casings, I want to use collagen and will i get the same affect as my other LJ?

He said sure because collagen is animal protein.

Cool Beans

So i took some 19mm collagen, stuffed loose so they dont bust under the weight.

 OK. I’ll admit it, I know very little about sausage making and even less about landjaeger.

There I said it.

I’ve been following your post for some time and my curiosity has gotten the best of me.  

I found your landjaeger press interesting, but time consuming. (Hey, I already said I don’t know squat)

Why do you need to use a press and/or weights to make landjaeger?   

Is this something that is landjaeger specific, or is it also used in other sausage making?
 
LOL---I'm waiting for more reasons too.

I said they don't roll off my truck dash while going up a steep hill, as easy as round ones.

And NEPAS said they fit in his pocket better than the round ones.

NEPAS-----Got anything else?

From what i understand. Hunters in Germany made them flat so they could get more in their pockets and packs. But hey what do i know i just make ema nd eat em...HA

Got home late so i took the Landjaegrs from the press and put them on the sticks.

Going to leave them in the smoke all night, no heat or smoke. Will smoke in the morning.

Good golly Miss Molly! Do you do anything, but make sausage. You must have as many freezers as you do smokers! As always it looks great, Nepas!

Hey Nepa, I like the look of this batch....nice and flat. that's the way the one german butcher shop around here makes them.

Nice work as always!
 
My wife said to me this morning before she went to work.

How long do those need to be hanging in there?

I thought you were building something for this?

OK OK

So i took em down.
