Problems with my sausage, resolved !!! W/Qviews

[shoneyboy]

  I was having major problems with my sausage coming out the way I felt it should

. I had been experiencing a multitude of problems 

 that had gotten so far out of control that I was about to give up on making sausage

. So I decided to ask for help

and I have to say that I received everything that I asked for and more

! I think I make some of the best Kielbasa and Cheddar Kielbasa I have ever eaten, this weekend!!  The mistakes I was making were so subtle

, I don’t think I would have ever figured them out

, but with Boykjo’s

help, I was able to see where I was making the mistakes

and with his help was able to work them out.  Words cannot explain the gratitude

 that I have for the help that he gave me. The proof is in the pictures

…..and if these pictures could talk we would be here all day!!!!  I had a taste test at work this morning and had rave reviews

….Everyone that tried really liked it, along with several requests for more!!!  Thanks again Boykjo, you have given me a new outlook on making sausage……

Hi So what were the problems, and how did you correct them. My 1st try at making Sweet Italian sausage and Bratwurst, didn't come out good either. They were dry (NOT enough Fat) and the texture was not right, ground with a 5/16 plate, used the grinder as my stuffer.Hope the next time with more fat, Will solve the problem.Taste left a lot to be desired, used a pre package mix..

Awesome, SB! I'm glad you didn't give up!

That looks good but sharing what went wrong and the fix will benefit many. Not to mention that Kielbasa looks soooo good how can you not share a Recipe and your new procedure...

I agree with Chef JJ.  ShoneyBoy  the Kielbasa does look great.

glad to hear you're a happy camper again. Sausage looks great! Now if you could give me Joe's secret recipe for his kielbasa I'd be a happy camper too.

 

[shoneyboy]

No offence to anyone, but due to an agreement that I made for his help, I can only refer you back to my mentor in this Boykjo. The only advice I can post about this is K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid!!!! Don’t over complicate it or anything that you do…. SB

Dan it sounds like there were too many to list and that KISS was the trick. I would suggest that anyone having specific issues that they post about them so we can give individual help or PM one of the know sausage makers and Im sure they will help.




Mike,

Those look great. Im glad that Joe was able to help you and understand you referring people to Joe for the information. Its like sharing a recipe someone gave you in private without sending people to the person you got it from.

Joe thank you for taking the time to help Mike out.

Looks great, SB will have to try that later on I am still experimenting with s/s and snack sticks.

 

[smokinhusker]

Outstanding!!!! 

 

[sam3]

I really like the color on those. Great job!

Shoneyboy, that kielbasa looks great!

I'm glad Joe helped you out!

  Also like you said, the "KISS" method is usually the best way to go. We humans have a habit of over complicating things!

And a BEER !
