Thanks Bob. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend.

I have made several brats with pre packaged and other homemade recipes and though they were ok, not quite what I'm looking for. This recipe (see above) calls for phosphate and MSG. Its a Johnsonville knockoff and I guess that's what I'm looking for. So if I left out the phosphate and MSG, would that...

Red, Gray Goat and all.

I made the chicken spinach feta sausage today. I haven't grilled any yet but the leftover in the stuffier fried up was very good. Thanks all for posting and helping me make a damn fine product.
I am sure I will be making more!

Those look superb!! I have to try the chicken spinach dogs. Pictures like this go a long way to make me keep trying. Thanks for sharing

Super Nice Airbrush

I'll be trying my hand at that again. Good Job!

Really looks good. Your chamber looks great as well. Have you posted any details about that?

Thanks for sharing.

Red...Thanks for the feedback. In retrospect I did everything wrong. Not enough attention to cleanliness and sanitation. Fat was to warm when I ground it and too soft when I mixed it resulting in fat smearing. I'm sure I did not mix it enough before stuffing. All those things you have pointed out I ...

For everyone except for me..waaaa :sad: Sooner or later I knew I would run into something that did not go as planned. I have no idea what went wrong but it sure enough did. Did this according to the recipe but in the chamber where humidity and temp controlled. Time to clean the chamber. This is the ...

Thanks JC

I got that email as well. I think I will go ahead and order these.

Kijek. Lucky you. You will like the treager. I've had one since the first year they were made and that was a very long time ago. They were made only 30 miles from me but now made out of country I believe. None the less they have made many strides since I first owned it. My son in law has it now and ...

Bob I think I used the wrong casing for the right sausage. I need to pay more attention to detail and learn some more before I jump head first into the pool. Sausage Maker 1 1/2 inch x 24 pepperoni stick..pre-tied They have great stuff. I just applied the wrong application. They have good stuff as I...

Stefan Now that you mention it, the sausage I have is VERY oily on the outside of the casing. I was wondering about that and was to be my next question. Interesting. I'm still learning stuff. Bob. Thanks for that. Its been 2 weeks and I'm at about 28% weight loss. The PH now is at 5.36. My dish for ...

I did not use chlorinated water to soak. Its been a bit over 2 weeks now and still no mold growth. Its a mystery but I wont lose sleep over it. So now as this is drying there are long strips of air pockets. Not sure if I should worry about them or not. :?: Next time I will use natural casings as per...

Thanks Bob. I'll get some ordered and give it a shot. I learn something new here all the time.
Thanks again

I have a Saucisson drying in the chamber now. I used 1 1/2 inch fibrous casings. Its very hard to find small diameter casings that are protein lined. I did get a link on this board but the supplier is out and who knows when they will be back in stock. So to get my casings to shrink in this instance,...
