I plan to make a liver sausage. I haven’t worked out the formula yet but likely will use Marianski’s ratios, i.e., liver 25-30%, fat 20-40%, and meat 30-40%. The liver will be venison liver and the meat/fat will probably be Wright Brand Bacon. I will assess the meat/fat ratio of the bacon and...

Thanks Bob K I suspected that there would be a reduction in the cure but it was just a thought. And Dan as for no cure in liverwurst...that may be the norm, but I tend to land on the opposite side of the fence with nitrite in the quantities that we use...i.e., I lean towards it at the very least...

All,

My first attempt at fermented, dried sausage has turned out way too salty, almost too salty to eat.

I followed these recipes in the Art of Making Fermented Sausages by Stan/Adam Marianski.

Milano
Salt 3%
Cure #2 0.24%
Dextrose 0.2%
Sugar 0.3%
white pepper 0.3%
Garlic 0.2%
Fennel 0.4%
Chili...

yes - salt + bottle-cap - that's the method i used, worked well.

The Inkbird should have instructions on how to change the offset.

To Calibrate:

Thanks! Looks like mine is 2 points out. Pretty close.

Hi from Australia.

So this is my first batch of salami. It's something I've been wanting to do forever. Not too long ago a neighbor moved out and left a full sized fridge in their driveway with a free sign on it. I took that as a sign that the time was right to build my cabinet :)

Fast forward a...

It's settled then. Next batch I won't use the fan.

Thanks for the tips.

I saw this on YouTube, where the Champion Juicer used with the blank plate is used to emulsify meat for hotdogs, and I tried it this weekend.

It works brilliantly!

I ground 50/50 beef and pork through a 1/4 plate, seasoned, then fed through the 1/8 plate, then through the Champion.

The result...

Its pretty hard to tell if it would work, the champion has a strong 1/3 horse motor and an optional blank plate.
Best way is to just try it

I am new to the Smoked Sausage arena. As I look at numerous recipes for Smoked Sausage that call for garlic and onions which is the best choice for dried seasoning: chopped onion, granulated onion, onion powder or minced onion? For garlic which would be recommended: granulated garlic, garlic powder...

Does anyone out there have a proven recipe for Bauernwurst? It's one of my favorite types of sausage in Germany, but I've not had much luck finding recipes online. Thanks in advance.

The unsalted pork back refers to Backfat AKA Fatback. Which is a hard firm fat. Bacon or pork belly is soft so that makes a big difference in texture.

Been waiting for things to cool off here in North Georgia and prepping for hopefully a lot of sausage this Fall, including hot dogs. So my question is, I was able to score a commercial Buffalo Chopper late last winter and it took awhile to clean it up. It will be ready for this season's sausage....

A friend picked up a bunch of old grinders and knowing I'm into that type stuff he gave me this one. I've never seen one like this before and only took it because it is unique in that it doesn't use a knife. Instead, the worm pushes the ingredients out to the plate and the plate turns and does the...
