I'ts spring time and time to make fresh sausage to be simmered in beer and onions and then get the grill marks. I made 25 pounds using 17 pounds of pork butt and 8 pounds of venison. I have made some from scratch but i found a pre-mixed seasoning from the guys at my local Cub store that they get from WItt's.  I bought some of there's at the service case and liked them so i started to use the seasoning. I do add one T of red pepper flakes, 4 big T of diced garlic, and 5 cups of dry powderd milk. here are some pics--


A close look at course ground venison and pork.


After the meat is ground through the course plate i sprinkle the powderd milk on top of the meat. In the container i have 5 cups of cold water, garlic, seasoning, and pepper flakes that i will stir well and pour over the mix.


This is how it looks after it is all mixed together. At first it seems there is too much water added but after mixing it all the mix has a sticky texture and that's what i like to see. Must be doing something wrong with posting these pics because now you have to go to the top again. Here is the mix going through a medium plate.


Ready to be stuffed with hog casings.

Well, i'll try again to finish the post i started above. Probably messed something up with posting the pics. Linking some up.  Then they went into some onions and beer, to go on the grill for the marks soon after.  Dont have pics of them on a bun but they were great. Reinhard
 
Reinhard,

How long do you cook the sausage in the beer?  Do you target an internal temperature?

Thank you.
 
Thanks everyone. Sorry that the pics had to be on two posts. As a rookie here i'm still getting used to posting them. They were not in order but i think everyone got the idea. I wont have any pics of them after being grilled. I think i sampled a few of the beers i used to simmer the polish in, and after serving everyone i just dove right in and ate. There will be more days for sure. I make sausage all year long. Jfsjazz---i realy dont do any internals while simmering. probably 10 to 15 minutes on a gentle simmer, and turning them at times. The polish or any fresh sausage you prepare this way get white after simmering for awhile. I dont just take the polish out on the grill after simmering and give them a grill mark.  I finish them off on indirect heat and turn them, probably another 10 minutes or so. If you have never have done this before i would take a internal after simmering and when close to done take them out and grill them. [take another temp if you want piece of mind]. after that you kind of know when they are done. I like a good bunch of marks on the sausage.

I use the same method and seasonings and dry milk in the smoked version of this. only difference is  that i use instacure #1 and my beloved smoker LOL. Reinhard
