Owens Summer Sausage

[chopsaw]

Made some summer sausage using the Owens mix . Came out fantastic . They really have some great seasonings .
I used a 4 1/2 lb. beef chuck roast that I ground and added 1 lb of ground pork that I had to buy ( $5.49 lb ouch ) . Don't hurt so bad when you support a local meat cutter .
Followed directions on the mix , but used TSP-X starter , hung over night .
Smoked the next day to an internal temp of 152 , cooled down , then let it hang overnight .
Then into fridge for another day . Next time I think I'm just going to let it hang for a week or so . Anyway texture and taste is spot on . Did half with a " super hot " cheese I buy from the local guy .

Sausage rack doubles as a light for my kitchen island .

Out of the cool down bath

I used a protein type casing , that I liked but they were a pain to get off .
Tip from Nepas helped me out .

Thanks for lookin .

Looks great going to try some Owens Red Barn after the holiday's any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Going to use a cloth bag (wife makes) Also going to use venison and beef for the mix.

@stayhot , Hey I didn't see you asked a question until now . The starter culture is most used in a dry cured sausage . I used it in this to set the color . Didn't get a pic of it after the over night hang , but the color was perfect . Depends on the culture , they do different things .
I guess this got bumped ,

Thank you bud ,,,

They were good ( now they are gone ) The Owens mix makes it look like you know what you're doin .

Fish , thanks . That was supper hot pepper jack I get at the meat market up the street . I normally use high temp , but find that works good to . I use it in bratwurst also .
