Pork is ground pork butt. Butt has just the right amount of lean to fat. Loin is too lean IMHO.
So your meat has been in the fridge all night...EH
Re mix it by hand before stuffing.
My LEM 5lb stuffer has served me well over the years with quite a few thousand pounds run thru it. This morning i found a small cut in the O ring. Time for a new one.
To get the sheep casings on your tube, keep the entire area wet, tube, tray/tub or whatever you use. I use trays they come in handy and are cheap at restaurant supply stores.
Run the meat to the end of the tube, casing slides on better.
For every pound of meat you will use 2-2.5' of casing.
You have a poker? Of course you do as you will have air pockets. Torch the tip to sanitize.
Now to stuff. I use 2 lengths of sheep casings for 5lbs.
My self like stated i keep my trays wet. This is just how i do it. Your results may vary.
Keep that poker handy, this is where you will poke the air pockets. Once the meat firms up its harder to get the air out. Air pockets will not hurt your sausage. Now dry cure salami you will want to get as many air pockets out as you can. Nuther ball game.
My hanging spot is in my shower or closet.
Why?
To those of you that are new, We are full time RVrs in a 40' 5th wheel I have to use what i have.
Hanging to let the casings dry some.
